1
teaspoon vegetable oil
2
turkey breast tenderloins (1 1/2 pounds)
3/4
teaspoon salt
1/4
teaspoon pepper
1/3
cup dry white wine or Progresso® chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
2
tablespoons butter or margarine
4
large onions, thinly sliced (4 cups)
1
tablespoon packed brown sugar
1/2
teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4
teaspoon pepper
  • 1 Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of turkey with salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook turkey in oil about 5 minutes, turning once, until brown on both sides.
  • 2 Pour wine into skillet; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 30 to 40 minutes or until juice of turkey is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Remove turkey from skillet; keep warm.
  • 3 Melt butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onions in butter 5 minutes, stirring frequently; reduce heat to medium. Stir in brown sugar, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown.
  • 4 Slice turkey. Serve turkey with onions.

Expert Tips

Skip the wine and use 1 pound turkey breast slices instead of the tenderloins. Cook as directed in step 1-except increase cooking time to 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until turkey is no longer pink in center. Omit step 2.

Any remaining turkey and onions make for a super sandwich. Top with sliced provolone or Monterey Jack cheese, romaine leaves and sliced tomatoes on your favorite hearty-grain bread.

My family and I really enjoyed this recipe. In fact, both my kids really enjoyed it. My youngest (18 mo.) devoured the turkey. I made it with stuffing and sweet potatoes. This recipe was simple and did not require much prep, which I love most of all!! Great dish!
