    List of Ingredients




    4 (4 oz) turkey breast cutlets
    1/2 cup mild or medium-hot salsa or picante sauce, divided
    3/4 tsp mild or medium chili powder
    1/2 tsp ground allspice
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
    1 (4 oz) can chopped mild green chilies, well drained
    1 (14 oz) pkg frozen (thawed) corn, black beans and sweet pepper medley
    1/4 cup chopped cilantro or parsley leaves, plus extra for garnish (optional)
    Salt and black pepper to taste (optional)

    In a medium non-reactive bowl, stir together the turkey cutlets, 1/4
    cup salsa, chili powder, and allspice. Let stand for 5 minutes. In a
    12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil over high heat until hot but
    not smoking. Add the turkey cutlets (reserving any salsa in bowl) and
    onions. Adjust the heat so the cutlets cook rapidly but do not burn.
    Cook, turning the cutlets several times, until they are nicely
    colored and just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Return the cutlets
    to the bowl with the reserved salsa. Add the green chilies, corn, and
    bean mixture, cilantro (or parsley), and remaining 1/4 cup salsa to
    the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes longer,
    until the flavors are well blended. Return the cutlets to the
    skillet, along with the reserved salsa. Continue simmering, about 5
    minutes longer, until the cutlets and corn mixture are heated to
    piping hot. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with additional
    cilantro (or parsley), if desired.
