How to make Parmesan-Breaded Turkey Cutlets Recipe
Pair this recipe up with some mashed new red potatoes and grilled asparagus. Wash it down with a European Pilsner!
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless turkey tenders ( about 10 ounces each )
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 slices whole wheat or white bread, torn into small pieces
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or as needed
Lemon wedges
Cut each turkey piece in half crosswise.
Butterfly each piece by cutting horizontally into the chicken and opening it like a book.
Using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat pounder, lightly pound each piece between 2 sheets of waxed paper until about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle on both sides with the salt-and-pepper and set aside.
In a food processor, combine the bread, rosemary, and Parmesan and process until finely chopped.
Transfer the breadcrumb mixture to a pie plate.
In a bowl, beat eggs until well blended.
But the flower on a piece of lax paper.
In a large, heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Dredge a turkey cutlet in the flour and shake off excess.
Dip it in the egg, then in the breadcrumb mixture.
Repeat with remaining cutlets.
When the oil is hot, add two cutlets and cook until nicely browned on the first side, about 2 minutes.
Turn and cook until browned on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
Transfer to a platter and cover to keep warm.
Repeat to cook the remaining two cutlets, adding more oil to the pan if needed.
Served with the lemon wedges.
Cook's tip:
These crispy cutlets are made from turkey tenderloins. If tenders are not available, you can cut slices from a breast of Turkey. First remove the skin and carve the turkey off the bone. Cut 1/2 inch slices and pound them to make cutlets about 1/4 inch thickness.

Looking good!
I just bought a pack of breast tenderloins…. just sayin’…
Nice timing!
Gary,
I really enjoy your emails and informational videos, am wondering if you have ever tried smoking chicken wings on the CharBroil Big Easy SRG. I’ve been looking for a recipe for garlic parmesan wings and found one on lowcarb360.com, but the gal on there is deep frying hers first. I asked her if this could be used on a smoker and she didn’t know. Is there a chance that you could take a look at this and let me know what you think and what the process should be on my Big Easy. I just got the Big Easy for Xmas and am trying different things on it. So far I have done the whole chickens and baked potatoes and the ribs per your videos and they turned out great. The wife even said those are the best ribs I’ve done to date. Been smoking with an electric smoker for years.
Thank you and keep on rocking
Dean, I would think that the Big Easy would crisp those wings up nicely. I haven’t tried this yet but eager to see if it can be done. The recipe seems to be solid and full of flavor. I hope you give this a try and keep me posted!
