Ingredients
- 3/4 teaspoon chili powder or Cajun seasoning
- Juice of 1 lime
- 4 turkey cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 1 cup Israeli couscous or other small pasta
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ear of corn, kernels removed (or 3/4 cup thawed frozen corn)
- 1 cup frozen black-eyed peas, thawed
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Combine the chili powder and lime juice in a medium bowl. Add the turkey and turn to coat; let marinate 10 minutes. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the couscous and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes; drain. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn, black-eyed peas and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, scallions, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste and cook until warmed through, about 2 more minutes; transfer to a large bowl. Add the couscous to the bowl along with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste; toss. Wipe out the skillet; add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side; add salt and pepper. Serve with the couscous.

Reviews
Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! I must admit that I was a little skeptical at first but you really must try this recipe. The turkey is really mild and it is perfect with the veggies and couscous. This will go into my regular cycle of dishes.
I tweaked it a little (used lemon juice, cumin and Trader Joe’s South African Smoke Seasoning on the turkey and it was delicious. You can find pics and details on Orna Bakes. Loved the couscous – good the next day too. Lovely, light, summery dish.
