Turkey A La Oscar

This quick main dish is made particularly easy by using frozen asparagus and prepackaged sauce mix. If you want to spend a little more time, feel free to use fresh asparagus and make the hollandaise sauce from scratch. There's a great hollandaise sauce recipe in the archives.
  • 7 oz. frozen asparagus
  • 2 tsp. water
  • 1 tsp. margarine
  • 2 turkey breast cutlets
  • 1/8 tsp. crushed garlic
  • 1-1/2 oz. shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/3 packet hollandaise sauce mix

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the asparagus and water to a boil. Continue to cook, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the cover and cook for 1 or 2 minutes, then drain.

Melt the margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the turkey 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until browned and no longer pink on the inside. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

Place the garlic and shrimp in the already heated saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, 1-2 minutes or until the shrimp is no longer pink.

Prepare the hollandaise sauce according to the package directions.

Place each turkey cutlet on a plate. Top the cutlet with the asparagus and shrimp. Pour the hollandaise sauce over the top and serve immediately.
