Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
- 1 cup Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing baking sheet)
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 small Jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a shallow dish, combine the ground flaxseed, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs with water until fully combined.
Dip each turkey cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, press each cutlet into the flaxseed coating mixture, making sure both sides are evenly covered.
Place the coated cutlets onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush the tops with a small amount of olive oil for extra crispiness.
Bake the turkey cutlets in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the turkey cutlets are baking, prepare the black bean salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the black beans, diced cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, cumin, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Remove the turkey cutlets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the flaxseed-coated turkey cutlets hot, topped with a generous portion of the black bean salsa. Enjoy!
