How to cook Turkey with chipotle sauce

Wash the turkey fillet, pat dry with paper towels and cut into portions. Cover the pieces with cling film and properly beat off. Take off the film. Mix olive oil with half of the chili sauce. Grate the fillet with the resulting mixture, cover again with cling film and set aside.

Heat up the pan. Fry the turkey pieces for 2 minutes. from each side. Remove the pan from the heat, cover with a lid and let stand for 5 minutes. Place the turkey on a serving platter. Serve the sauce separately.
