To prepare marinade, combine first 17 ingredients in a blender or food processor, and process until mixture forms a paste; divide mixture in half, reserving 1/4 cup for another use. To prepare turkey, combine 1/4 cup marinade, cutlets, and jerk seasoning in a zip-top plastic bag; seal and toss well to coat. Marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or overnight, turning bag occasionally. Remove cutlets from bag, and discard marinade. Heat 1 tsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 cutlets, and sauté for 1 minute on each side or until done. Repeat procedure with the remaining oil and cutlets. Serve with Cranberry-Habanero Salsa.
