Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Turkey breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by patting the turkey breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with the milk. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dredge each turkey breast in the flour, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Shake off any excess.
Next, dip the floured turkey breasts into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Finally, press the turkey breasts into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides completely. Gently press down so the breadcrumbs adhere well. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded turkey breasts to the skillet.
Cook the turkey breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked turkey breasts to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the breaded turkey breasts hot with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing. Pair with your choice of vegetables, salad, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
