Turkey Breast Smothered In Onions With a Balsamic Glaze

Finally a new recipe! I had been experimenting with recipes the last couple of weeks and making the food when it was oh so dark outside. I have yet to learn how to take beautiful pictures of food without natural lighting. Alors, here is one of my latest creations! It’s a coated turkey breast lightly fried in butter and oil, covered with onions with a balsamic glaze poured on top and I’ve made it twice and almost cried in joy both times…

Without further ado, here, my friends, is the recipe:

Begin by prepping. Slice half of a spanish onion…

Set those aside for a minute while we coat these two turkey breasts (you can use chicken or anything else for that matter). Put 2 heaping tablespoons of flour on a plate…

Then add a heaping teaspoon of each paprika and cumin to the flour…

Mix those ingredients together and place the turkey breast on the flour to coat one side (make sure the whole thing is coated), then flip it over and coat the other side. Then shake the turkey breast to dust off the excess flour, then set that turkey breast aside. Whew!

Let’s get back to those onions! In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and then add the onions. Saute the onions in the oil until they are translucent. I find 3-5 minutes is usually a good amount of time…

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan after the onions are ready (but keep the onions in the pan too)…

Now add the turkey breasts! They take about 2-3 minutes on each side but always check to make sure there is no pink in the middle. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t dry out as well. As soooon as the pink disappears, they are ready!

For the balsamic glaze, add 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar to a small saucepan…

Boil the vinegar until it reduces by about half, meaning that there should only be a couple of tablespoons in the saucepan when it’s ready. It takes 3-4 minutes and always keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t get too thick. Here is the finished product…It’s thick like syrup (it’s good on ice cream too, believe it or not!)

Now place a turkey breast on a plate, top it with some onions and pour a tablespoon or so of the balsamic glaze on top…

Et voila! A yummy dinner![amd-zlrecipe-recipe:43]
