- 1 pound boned, skinned turkey breast
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
- 8 cloves garlic, minced or pressed, divided
- 1/3 cup canned tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon distilled white or cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup raisins
- Rinse turkey, pat dry, and cut into 8 equal pieces (no more than 1 1/2 inches thick).
- Mix minced cilantro, pepper, and 6 cloves of the minced garlic; pat mixture over turkey pieces, covering all sides.
- Place pieces well apart in a shallow, rimmed baking pan. Bake in a 500 degrees F oven until meat is lightly browned on outside and no longer pink in center; cut to test (10 to 12 minutes).
- Meanwhile, in a food processor or a blender, combine remaining 2 cloves minced garlic, tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, and raisins; whirl until raisins are chopped. Offer raisin sauce to spoon over turkey to taste.
