Tips and Serving Suggestions
- If you’re looking to add extra flavor, try seasoning the breadcrumb mixture with herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley.
- For a lighter option, you can bake the breaded turkey slices in the oven instead of pan-frying them. Simply preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), place the breaded turkey slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
- Leftover Breaded Turkey Slices can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
- Serve these delicious Breaded Turkey Slices with a side of cranberry sauce or gravy for an extra festive touch!
Enjoy your meal! 🍽️🦃
