• Ready In: 23mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1 1⁄2 - 2 lbs turkey breast tenderloins
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup low-fat chicken broth
• 3⁄4 cup apple cider

directions

1. Combine flour, salt and pepper. Slice tenderloin into 1 inch thick medallions; flatten slightly with the heel of your hand. Coat both sides of medallions with flour, shaking off excess. Reserve remaining flour mixture.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add medallions and cook until no longer pink, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a platter and cover to keep warm.
3. Place skillet with drippings over medium heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 7 minutes.
4. Stir in reserved flour mixture and thyme; cook and stir for 1 minute. Whisk in chicken broth and apple cider. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over medallions and serve.

These were very tasty. I couldn't find apple cider so I subbed apple juice. I added a flour & water roux b/c it wasn't thickening up as much as I wanted it to but it tasted great.
