This recipe is great for those who are aren't in the mood to roast a huge turkey for Thanksgiving but still want to get their turkey/cranberry fix. I simply seasoned the turkey cutlets then lightly floured them before cooking them with a bit of olive oil. I served the turkey cutlets with a delicious cranberry coulis that was seasoned with cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. The flavor combination was fantastic and the meal couldn't have been more simple. My son, who isn't a huge meat eater, gobbled up every last bite of his turkey... gotta love that!
