How to Make Russian Style Turkey Cutlets
- Break 1/2 cup of bread into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, soak the bread in 1/2 cup half-and-half until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
- Add 1 lb ground turkey, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon fresh dill, and 3 tablespoons room-temperature butter to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm slightly.
- Form the turkey mixture into four oval cutlets.
- Coat the cutlets evenly with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
- In a large, nonstick frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over moderate heat.
- Cook the cutlets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides. Traditional Russian accompaniments include sautéed mushrooms, beets, glazed carrots, or mashed potatoes.
