- 1/3 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- Pinch ground cloves
- Pinch ground cinnamon
- Pinch cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons flour
- 3/4 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 4 (5 ounce) turkey cutlets
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- Grind 1/4 cup of the walnuts to a powder in a food processor. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the onion; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds longer. Stir in the cloves, cinnamon, cayenne, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Add the flour and stir to combine. Whisk in the broth and simmer until starting to thicken, about 3 minutes. Add the ground walnuts and simmer 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, Parmesan, and parsley.
- In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Season the turkey with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Cook the turkey cutlets until just done, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve with the walnut sauce, sprinkling the additional nuts over the top.
