This sweet-and-sour sauce with chunks of dried apricot and flecks of mint is a nice way to season lean turkey cutlets. Combine flour, 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge turkey lightly in the flour mixture. Heat oil in a non stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden on the outside and no longer pink inside. Transfer to plates and keep warm. Add shallots or onions and ginger to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 10 to 20 seconds. Add nectar, chicken stock, vinegar and sugar and bring to a boil, stirring. Add apricots and currants and cook for several minutes, or until they are tender and the sauce has been reduced slightly. Remove from heat and stir in mint. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the sauce over the turkey.
