Instructions:
- Begin by laying the turkey breast cutlets flat on a clean cutting board. If they are thick, you may want to pound them gently with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking. This step is optional but helps achieve a tender texture.
- In one shallow dish, beat the egg whites until frothy. In another plate, combine the seasoned breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, mixing well. Season both mixtures with a pinch of kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Dip each turkey cutlet first into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, transfer the cutlet to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down slightly to ensure the crumbs adhere well. Repeat this process with all the cutlets.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. The combination of butter and oil helps achieve a crisp and golden crust while adding a delightful flavor.
- Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the coated turkey cutlets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Avoid overcrowding the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.
- Once cooked, remove the turkey cutlets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh burst of flavor.
Notes
- For a lighter dish, substitute half of the butter with olive oil.
- Use whole grain or gluten-free breadcrumbs for a healthier option.
- Add herbs to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
- Pair with steamed vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.
