Equipment
- 1 meat mallet or rolling pin
- 3 shallow bowls
- 1 large frying pan
- 1 baking dish
- 1 tongs
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 4 pieces turkey cutlets about 6 ounces each
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably Italian-style
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place each turkey cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about ½ inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Set up a breading station by placing flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in a second bowl, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
- Dip each turkey cutlet first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat them thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded turkey cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the browned turkey cutlets to a baking dish. Pour marinara sauce over each cutlet, covering them completely.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with pasta or a side salad for a complete meal.
You can prepare the breaded cutlets ahead of time and freeze them. Just bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
