Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 120 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 piece Lemon
Instructions
Lay each turkey cutlet on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Gently pound with a meat mallet until about 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick.
Place a sage leaf on each side of the turkey cutlets, pressing it gently to adhere. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it’s evenly coated. Finally, press it into the breadcrumbs, coating both sides and edges fully.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.
Carefully place the breaded turkey cutlets in the skillet, without overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the cutlets before eating. Pair with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
