For a richer sauce, add a tablespoon of butter to the pan during the last few minutes of simmering. Serve with a side of couscous, quinoa, or roasted vegetables to complete the meal. To ensure even cooking, pound the turkey cutlets to an even thickness before seasoning. If you don't have fresh orange juice on hand, you can substitute with high-quality store-bought orange juice, but fresh is always preferred for the best flavor.
