Parmesan Crusted Turkey Cutlets

These Parmesan Crusted Turkey Cutlets are deliciously crispy and crunchy, with a Parmesan crust. Prepare them the same way as chicken cutlets; these turkey cutlets are so good and loaded with flavor!

Turkey Cutlets with Parmesan Crust…

We don’t fry food every week, but once in a while we enjoy the taste of fried cutlets, especially chicken, veal, and even turkey. I saw these turkey cutlets in the meat section and decided to try them out, using our mom’s recipe for her chicken cutlets.

The breadcrumb and cheese mixture creates a warm, crispy crust on the outside while keeping the meat moist and tender on the inside.

The Parmesan cheese adds big flavor, making these cutlets so tasty and irresistible. Everyone loves them!

Ingredients Needed for Parmesan Crusted Turkey Cutlets:

For our Parmesan-crusted turkey cutlets recipe, here are the ingredients you will need:

• 1 pound (16-ounces) thin turkey breast cutlets (about 6 to 8 cutlets)

• 1 + 1/2 cups plain bread crumbs

• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/2 tsp. salt

How to Make These Parmesan-Crusted Turkey Cutlets?

This recipe is very easy to follow. *You can also jump down to the bottom of the post for our full recipe card.

1.  Line a dinner plate with paper towels, and set it aside.   For easy prep, I found these convenient Sets of Breading Trays on Amazon.

2.  Next, in one breading pan, crack open 2 eggs and lightly beat them, and set them aside.

3.  Using a second breading pan, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley.

4.  Dip each turkey cutlet into the eggs to coat both sides.  Allow the excess to drip off.   Then dip the cutlet into the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, and pat to coat both sides again.

5.  Shake off excess breadcrumbs.  Then transfer to the third breading pan.

6.  In a large nonstick frying pan, heat about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch of oil over medium heat.  Add a few cutlets at a time and cook until the turkey is fully cooked, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

7.  Transfer to the plate lined with paper towels to drain. Transfer turkey cutlets to a serving platter, and serve. Serves 4

Storing and Freezing

This is a delicious dish.  Turkey cutlets turned out so good, my family didn’t realize they were eating turkey – until I confessed to them.

They actually thought they were my chicken cutlets, and that could be a good thing, especially if you have family members who don’t like turkey. Try this recipe, and…

Enjoy!
