chickpeas image by timur1970 from Fotolia.com Turkey cutlet is a succulent cut of turkey breast usually no thicker than 1/4 to 1/2 inch. They are naturally low in fat, so you can bake the thin slices of poultry for a delicious, low-fat meal. Cutlets take much less time to prepare than roasting a whole bird, but dry out quickly if you cook them for too long. You can bread turkey cutlets or bake them with vegetables to preserve their moisture. Breaded Turkey CutletsStep 1Spray a baking dish with cooking spray as you preheat the oven. Cutlets of all kinds cook well at 400 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. The high heat gives the breaded cutlets a crispy texture. Step 2Crack an egg into a small bowl and beat lightly with a fork. This is the base layer for the breaded cutlets. If the egg is very thick, thin it out a bit with a couple drops of water. Step 3Spread bread crumbs on to a plate. Add salt, pepper and other spices to flavor the cutlets. Choose basil, oregano and thyme for an Italian flair, for example. Tarragon is an herb traditionally used in poultry dishes. Step 4Dip each turkey cutlet in the beaten egg, then dredge the meat with bread crumbs. Shake off the excess and place the breaded cutlets in the baking dish. Step 5Bake for about 15 minutes before checking for doneness. The meat should not be pink in the middle, and should register 165 F on a meat thermometer. Turkey Cutlets With VegetablesStep 1Chop potatoes, carrots, celery or other vegetables to cook with your baked cutlets. Root vegetables work well because they won't disintegrate in the oven. Vegetables that have a high water content are good, too, because they lend moisture to the dish. Step 2Season the turkey with your desired spices and flavorings. Salt and pepper are standard fare for seasoning meats. You can also use a drizzle of olive oil, mustard, barbecue sauce and other wet ingredients. Step 3Place the chopped vegetables in a greased baking dish. You can also use a cookie sheet as long as it has a rim to prevent the juices from dripping into the oven. Step 4Lay the thin pieces of turkey on top of the vegetables. Bake in a 400-degree oven for 20 minutes before checking the interior of the turkey for doneness; the thermometer should register 165 F. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes more if needed. What temperature should turkey cutlets be cooked at?Bake at 350°F, uncovered, for 35 minutes (do not open oven).
