Turkey Cutlets with Parmesan Crust
These Turkey Cutlets with Parmesan Crust offer a delightful balance of flavors and textures, making them a perfect choice for a quick and satisfying family meal. Crisped to golden perfection, each cutlet is tender inside with a savory, cheesy coating.
Ingredients
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 turkey breast cutlets about 4 ounces each
- 2 large egg whites whisked
- 1/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the turkey cutlets to season them.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the seasoned breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese, mixing well to incorporate.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until fully blended. Dip each cutlet into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off, then press into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any surplus breadcrumbs.
- Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt fully.
- Place the breaded cutlets in the skillet and cook for about 6 minutes per side, or until they achieve a golden-brown crust and are cooked through.
- Serve the cutlets immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for a touch of brightness.
