Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Place each turkey breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound with a meat mallet until they are about 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
Set up three shallow bowls for breading. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each turkey piece into the flour, coating both sides. Shake off the excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any extra egg drip off. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan in a thin layer.
Once the oil is hot (around 350°F if using a thermometer), carefully place the breaded turkey pieces into the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the cooked turkey to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
Enjoy your Crunchy Turkey Supreme while it’s still hot and crispy!
