Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the turkey cutlets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Rub the spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the turkey cutlets, ensuring they are well coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the turkey cutlets into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked turkey cutlets for added brightness and flavor.
Remove the cutlets from the skillet and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your choice of side dishes.
