What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Tender turkey cutlets are gently simmered in a flavorful Creole-style sauce.
4 turkey breast cutlets
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup stewed tomatoes with juice
1 cup homemade chicken broth or canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 drops hot pepper sauce (or to taste)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Prepare a large skillet with non-stick pan spray. Heat the pan over high heat. Brown the turkey cutlets quickly on both sides. Set aside. Reduce the heat and saute the green pepper, mushrooms, celery, onion, and garlic for about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes with juice, the chicken broth, all the herbs and seasonings, and the hot pepper sauce. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water; add to the skillet. Bring to a boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
Add the cutlets; spoon the sauce over them and simmer for another 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

The only thing I omitted from the recipe was the cornstarch thickening. And honestly, it really didn't need it! The sauce reduced nicely with the long simmering time. The turkey was very tender and the sauce had lots of flavor, especially with the fresh herbs.
