Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped sage, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
-
Coat the Turkey Cutlets: In another shallow dish, crack the egg and beat lightly. Dip each turkey cutlet into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated, then transfer to the breadcrumb mixture. Coat the cutlets evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
-
Heat the Oil: In a large nonstick skillet, heat the canola oil over moderate-high heat. Make sure the skillet is sufficiently heated for a crispy crust.
-
Cook the Cutlets: Once the oil is hot, add as many coated turkey cutlets as will fit comfortably in the skillet without overcrowding. Cook the cutlets until they are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Use a spatula to carefully flip the cutlets halfway through cooking. Remove the cooked cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Keep them warm while you cook the remaining cutlets.
-
Deglaze the Pan: Once all the cutlets are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the hot skillet, using a spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the lemon juice to simmer and reduce slightly, deglazing the pan for a couple of minutes to intensify the flavors.
-
Serve: Arrange the Parmesan Crusted Turkey Cutlets on a serving platter and drizzle the pan juices over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon slices if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness!
Tips:
- Variation: Feel free to customize the coating by adding your favorite herbs and spices. Thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder would all be excellent additions to enhance the flavor profile.
- Side Dish Suggestions: Serve these Parmesan Crusted Turkey Cutlets with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a well-rounded meal.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through before serving.
With its crunchy coating and succulent turkey meat, these Parmesan Crusted Turkey Cutlets are sure to become a family favorite. Whether you’re cooking for a weeknight dinner or entertaining guests, this recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Enjoy the deliciousness and savor every bite! ๐ฝ๏ธโจ
