Ingredients
Scale
Turkey Cutlets
- 1 1/2 lbs turkey cutlets
Breading Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Other
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet with olive oil. This will help prevent the cutlets from sticking and promote even browning.
- Make the Breading Mixture: In a large shallow bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, finely grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to blend all the flavors evenly.
- Coat the Turkey Cutlets: Pat the turkey cutlets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Press each cutlet firmly into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring a thick, even coating that sticks well for optimal crispiness.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the breaded turkey cutlets evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Remove the cutlets from the oven and serve immediately. They pair beautifully with dishes like Summer Pasta with Peas and Parmesan or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
