Turkey Cutlets With Almond Crust Recipes

PARMESAN CRUSTED TURKEY CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Season the turkey cutlets with salt and pepper.
• Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk.
• Mix together the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder in a second bowl.
• Dip each cutlet into the egg and let the excess drip off.
• Next, toss the cutlet with the almond flour mixture.
• Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway or until fully cooked through.

SAUTEED TURKEY CUTLETS WITH AVOCADO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth; set aside until ready to use. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water. (Can be made up to 1 day ahead and stored, covered tightly in a refrigerator until ready to use.)
• For the turkey: Combine flour, zest, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and mix thoroughly. Add half of cutlets and coat well. Remove, shaking off excess flour, and repeat with remaining cutlets.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add 2 to 3 cutlets and cook until browned, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining cutlets.
• To serve, place turkey on platter, top with sauce, and garnish with a few slices of avocado and torn basil leaves.

PARMESAN-COATED TURKEY CUTLETS

Steps:

• Gently pound cutlets between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with a flat meat pounder or a rolling pin until 1/4 inch thick.
• Whisk together eggs, water, salt, pepper, cheese, and parsley in a shallow bowl (batter will be thick).
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Working quickly, dip 1 cutlet in batter, letting excess drip off, and add to skillet. Repeat with about 3 more cutlets (do not crowd in skillet) and cook, turning over once, until golden and just cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Repeat with remaining butter, oil, and cutlets.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

TURKEY CUTLETS WITH ALMOND CRUST

Steps:

• 1. Put the turkey on a plate and rub all over with 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and the garlic. On another plate, mix the chopped nuts, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Coat the turkey pieces, one at a time, on one side with the nut mixture, pressing with palm of your hand to help the nuts adhere to the meat. Let stand, nut side up, about 10 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, gently stir together the tomatoes, avocado, onion, serrano, remaining lime juice, and remaining salt. Adjust seasoning. Set aside. 3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Cook the cutlets, nut side down, until golden brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Using a wide spatula, carefully turn the cutlets and cook the second side until browned and no longer pink inside, 3 to 4 minutes. Place 1 cutlet, nut side up on each of 4 plates. Spoon the tomato-avocado mixture equally on the side of each serving. Sprinkle cilantro over all.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
