How to Make Awesome Breaded Turkey Cutlets

  1. Season 4 (4-6 oz) turkey cutlets generously with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Crack 2 large eggs into a shallow dish and whisk lightly.
  3. Place 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs in another shallow dish.
  4. Dip each turkey cutlet in the egg, ensuring both sides are coated, then dredge in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The butter will add flavor and browning.
  6. Add turkey cutlets to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  7. Once golden brown on both sides, remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 with remaining cutlets, adding more butter and oil to the skillet as needed.
  9. Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Garnish with parsley if desired.
