Turkey cutlets with cheese is a simple and delicious dish that's perfect for a quick meal. The tender turkey cutlets are topped with melted cheese, creating a flavorful and satisfying dish. Here's how to prepare it:
Ingredients:
- 4 turkey cutlets
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or white wine (optional)
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella or Swiss cheese (or a combination of your favorite cheeses)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Turkey Cutlets:
- Season the turkey cutlets on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- If the cutlets are thick, you can pound them to about 1/2-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.
-
Cook the Turkey Cutlets:
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the turkey cutlets to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- If using chicken broth or white wine, pour it into the skillet during the last minute of cooking to deglaze the pan and add moisture. Let it simmer for a minute.
- Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate.
-
Add the Cheese:
- While the cutlets are still hot, sprinkle the grated mozzarella or Swiss cheese evenly over each cutlet. Then, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top.
- If you like, you can place the cutlets under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt and slightly brown the cheese, or simply cover the skillet with a lid until the cheese is melted.
-
Serve:
- Transfer the cheese-covered turkey cutlets to a serving platter.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or mashed potatoes.
Enjoy your turkey cutlets with cheese!
