Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces turkey steaks
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 120 grams breadcrumbs
- 40 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place the turkey steaks on a cutting board. If they are very thick, place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are approximately 1 cm thick.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each turkey steak in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully covered. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides. Repeat for all turkey steaks.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add two turkey steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and the turkey is cooked through to an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F). Remove the cooked steaks and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining two turkey steaks, adding the remaining olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the crumbed turkey steaks hot with optional lemon wedges for squeezing over the top. They pair well with mashed potatoes, a side salad, or steamed vegetables.
