The taste of turkey is completely hidden, making these cutlets ideal for picky eaters.
Turkey Cutlets with Parmesan Crust…
We usually don’t fry foods every week, but once in a while, we enjoy the taste of fried cutlets, especially when it’s chicken, veal, and now even turkey.
The bread crumb and cheese mixture creates a warm crispy-crunchy crust on the outside while keeping the meat moist and tender on the inside.
The Parmesan cheese definitely adds a lot of flavor to these cutlets, making them so tasty and irresistible.
I saw these turkey cutlets in the meat section and decided to try them out, using our mom’s recipe for her chicken cutlets.
Your family will LOVE these Parmesan Crusted Turkey Cutlets.
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 that don’t like turkey.
ENJOY!!

Ingredients Needed for Parmesan Crusted Turkey Cutlets:

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

1/8 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. black pepper

1/2 tsp. dried parsley

Cooking oil, for frying ( vegetable or canola)
Directions to make these Turkey Cutlets:
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 again pat to coat both sides.
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 turkey is fully cooked, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
7. Transfer to the plate lined with paper towels, to drain. Transfer turkey cutlets to a serving platter, and serve.
