Ingredients

1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried sage
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp dried parsley
Salt & pepper
1 lb turkey cutlets
1 tbsp avocado oil
2 tbsp coconut aminos divided
2 cloves garlic minced
⅓ cup orange juice
1 tbsp maple syrup
Fresh thyme to serve

Instructions

Using a shallow bowl, combine the herbs, onion powder, salt and pepper. Add the turkey cutlets to coat both sides. Set aside.
Using a large deep pan, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the turkey cutlets. Cook for 2 minutes on each side or until cooked through to 165 F. Remove from the pan and cover to keep them warm.
To deglaze the pan, pour about 1 tsp of coconut aminos into the pan, scraping up any burnt bits off of the pan. See notes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, cooking for about two minutes.
Pour the orange juice, maple syrup, and coconut aminos into the pan. Allow to simmer for about 12-15 minutes, stirring often. The liquid should be reduced into a thick glaze.
Turn off the heat and add the cooked turkey cutlets, turning to coat the turkey in the glaze.
Serve the cutlets topped with fresh thyme, and with a side like green beans and mashed sweet potato!

Notes

You may be able to skip deglazing the pan if you're using a nonstick pan and don't have anything stuck to the pan!
