    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

Steps

  • 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.

  • 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.
