- Remove turkey medallions from skillet and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Add 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Pour in 1/4 cup apple juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
- Boil for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Stir in the cooked bacon and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
- Spoon the sauce over the turkey medallions and serve immediately.
