Ingredients
- 4 turkey cutlets
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Prepare the Turkey
- Pat turkey cutlets dry using paper towels. This helps coating stick better. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Keep them ready for breading.
Set Up Breading Station
- Take three bowls. Add flour in one, beaten eggs in another and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan and spices in the third. This setup makes coating easy.
Coat the Cutlets
- Dip each turkey cutlet in flour first. Then dip in egg mixture. Finally coat with breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly so crumbs stick well to the surface.
Heat the Pan
- Place a skillet on medium heat. Add olive oil and butter. Let them heat until hot but not smoking. This gives a rich flavor and golden crust.
Cook the Cutlets
- Place coated cutlets in the pan. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side. Turn carefully. Cook until golden brown and fully cooked inside.
Serve Hot
- Remove cutlets from pan and place on paper towels. This removes extra oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges for fresh flavor and brightness.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan
- Use fresh breadcrumbs for better texture
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning
- Add herbs for extra flavor
- Rest cutlets before serving
