FOOD AND WINE MAGAZINE

INGREDIENTS

  1. 8 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
  2. 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  3. 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
  4. 1 tablespoon pure ancho chile powder
  5. 3/4 teaspoon curry powder
  6. 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
  7. 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  8. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  9. 2 pounds turkey cutlets
  10. Vegetable oil, for brushing

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a mini food processor, combine the garlic, oregano, paprika, chile powder, curry and salt and process until the garlic is chopped. Add the vinegar and olive oil and process to a paste.
  2. Rub the marinade onto the turkey cutlets and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  3. Light a grill. Scrape the marinade off of the turkey cutlets. Brush the cutlets with vegetable oil and grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked through, about 5 minutes total. Serve hot.
MAKE AHEAD The marinade can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. NOTES Variation The marinade is also great for pork chops and pork tenderloin.SERVE WITH Black beans and yellow rice.
SALLY'S NOTES:
My cutlets were pretty thin so I grilled them on a grill pan for about 4 minute total.
