Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces turkey breast cutlets
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 150 grams bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 60 milliliters vegetable oil
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the turkey breast cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs until smooth. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs with salt and black pepper.
Dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs to coat completely. Finally, press the cutlets into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil and butter until the butter has melted and begins to foam.
Add the breaded turkey cutlets to the skillet, cooking for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook in batches.
Once cooked, transfer the turkey escalopes to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve the escalopes hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the top.
