Garlic Herb Turkey Cutlets

Garlic Herb Turkey Cutlets

This recipe creates flavorful and juicy turkey cutlets bursting with garlic and herb goodness.

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless turkey breasts (about 1-1/2 pounds each)
• 1/4 cup olive oil




• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary




• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme




• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

Cooking Guide:

1. Prep the Turkey: Pat the turkey breasts dry with paper towels. Tip: Evenly flatten the turkey breasts for quicker and more consistent cooking. Place a piece of plastic wrap over each breast and pound with a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.

2. Make the Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper.

3. Marinate the Turkey: Place the turkey cutlets in a shallow dish and spoon the herb mixture over them. Coat the turkey evenly and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

4. Bread the Cutlets: Dredge each turkey cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess.

5. Cook the Cutlets: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and cook the turkey cutlets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).

6. Deglaze the Pan (Optional): Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside. Add the vegetable broth to the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for a minute or two, then stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water) to thicken the sauce slightly.

7. Serve: Plate the turkey cutlets and spoon the pan sauce over them, or serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips:

• For a crispy crust, you can use a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese instead of all-purpose flour for breading.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the cutlets. Cook them in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
• If the cutlets seem to be cooking too quickly and browning too fast, lower the heat slightly.
• Let the cooked turkey rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute for a more tender result.
