Parmesan Crusted Turkey Cutlets by 2sistersrecipes.com

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 turkey 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!!

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.

I have a very similar recipe from the Creme de Colorado cookbook but I usually make them with chicken breast. It's wonderful recipe!
