Time 30m

Yield 2 main course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 slices white bread, crusts removed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons whole milk
Freshly ground black pepper
Flour for dredging
Two 2 1/2-ounce turkey cutlets (scaloppini)
Kosher salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, divided
2 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse the bread into crumbs. Add the Parmesan, thyme, and lemon zest. Transfer the flavored breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl or lipped plate. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with pepper. Place the flour in a shallow bowl or dish. Season 1 scaloppini with salt and pepper. Dredge the scaloppini in the flour and shake off any excess, then dip it in the egg mixture; finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set on a plate or piece or waxed paper. Repeat with the other scaloppini. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. While the butter is still foaming add the breaded scaloppini and cook, swirling the skillet in a tight circle (which keeps the scaloppini moving around the skillet), until golden brown and cooked through, about 1-1/2 minutes for the first side. Turn the meat and cook for 1 minute on the second side. Transfer to a plate and cover very loosely with foil while you cook the other scaloppini. Serve with the lemon wedges.

EASY TURKEY SCHNITZEL



Easy Turkey Schnitzel image

Our family lived in Europe for 11 years and this was by far our two sons' all-time favorite recipe. Typically in Germany and Austria, schnitzel is served with french fries and lemon wedges for squeezing onto the breaded cutlets. In Europe I used veal, but now that we are back home, I find that turkey slices are a fine substitute. -Sue Jurack, Mequon, Wisconsin

Tips for Making the Best Turkey Schnitzel:

  • Use thin-sliced turkey cutlets for best results. If you can't find them pre-sliced, you can slice them yourself using a sharp knife.
  • Tenderize the turkey cutlets before cooking to make them more tender. You can do this by pounding them with a meat mallet or rolling them out with a rolling pin.
  • Season the turkey cutlets with salt, pepper, and paprika before cooking. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or oregano.
  • Coat the turkey cutlets in flour before frying. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Fry the turkey cutlets in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the cutlets will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the turkey schnitzel hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Turkey schnitzel is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey, and it is also a healthy and affordable option.
