Turkey Filets with Dijon Mustard Sauce, #bookgiveaway and recipe from Essie Lang

The turkey breast filet package called out to me when I was grocery shopping the other day, as a change of pace in my usual menu selections. Of course, when I got them home I then had to find a recipe. There is was on an internet site called Gourmet Sleuth and it was a great choice. 

I tinkered with the recipe and made a serving for one but you can easily increase the ingredients to feed any number of hungry guests.

I will be making it again and next time, as another change of pace, I'll try using lemon instead of lime. Lemon is actually what the original recipe called for but I'm a lime person and it worked just great.

Another plus of this recipe -- it was easy and fast.

What I used:

1 turkey filet

1 tbsp. olive oil

½ c. chicken broth

1/4 lime, juiced and sliced thinly for garnish

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

1 tbsp. chopped fresh Basil

Salt and pepper to taste

 

 What to do:

1.   1.  Heat olive oil in a saute pan. Add the filet and cook a few minutes on each side until cooked throughout and lightly browned. Remove to a covered dish and keep warm.

2.     

2.       Add to the chicken broth to the pan, dislodging any bits stuck to the pan. Simmer until it is reduced by ½. Whisk in Dijon mustard and lime juice, and continue to simmer. Add basil.

  Plate your meal and slather in sauce.                                                           

Enjoy!

RELEASE DAY NEWS: Death on the Page by Essie Lang

Congratulations to our own... 

ESSIE LANG

On the release of her new 
Castle Bookshop Mystery

DEATH ON THE PAGE

Thousand Islands bookstore owner Shelby Cox sleuths the slaying of a true-crime writer who may have learned too much about a murder case that should have stayed shut.

There are a thousand stories in New York's scenic Thousand Islands, and Bayside Books co-owner Shelby Cox stocks them all. But lately, the Blye Island bookseller's life is more about investigation than inventory. True-crime writer Savannah Page caps off two successful signings at Bayside Books with a night in Blye Castle. She's there to research Joe Cabana, a colorful Prohibition-era mobster who owned the castle--until he was found dead in the island Grotto.

But crime becomes all too true for Savannah. Her body turns up the next morning, in a secret passage at the bottom of the stairs. The last thing Shelby Cox wants is to sleuth another murder, but she's intrigued about how a killer could have reached the island after hours. She's not at a lack for suspects either. It could have been anyone from Savannah's fiancé, Liam Kennelly, who argued with her the evening before, to island caretaker Matthew Kessler, recently cleared of his wife's murder. Can Shelby keep regular store hours, elude the police chief, and assemble the clues into a hard-bound case without getting permanently shelved?

Essie Lang's second Castle Bookshop mystery is perfect for fans of Lorna Barrett and Vicki Delany.
