The memoir class has two of these \cleartorecto and \cleartoverso

Defined as

\def\cleartorecto{\clearpage\if at twoside \ifodd\c at page\else
   \hbox{}\thispagestyle{cleared}%
   \newpage\if at twocolumn\hbox{}\newpage\fi\fi\fi}

\def\cleartoverso{\clearpage\if at twoside
   \ifodd\c at page\hbox{}\thispagestyle{cleared}%
   \newpage\if at twocolumn\hbox{}\newpage\fi\fi\fi}

where the cleared pagestyle is normally just and alias for empty.
