Preparation
Step 1
You can use turkey fillet from either the breast or thigh.
Step 2
Rinse the turkey fillet, pat it dry, and slice lengthwise into 2-3 pieces depending on thickness.
Step 3
Cover each piece with plastic wrap and gently pound it with a meat mallet, keeping the meat intact. There should be no holes for the cheese to leak through while frying. If a hole appears, cover it with another small piece of meat.
Step 4
Sprinkle each piece with dried garlic, turkey seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Step 5
Slice the cheese into thin pieces. Choose any cheese you like - regular hard cheese, mozzarella, or suluguni all work great.
Step 6
Place 2-3 cheese slices on one half of each cutlet.
Step 7
Fold the cutlet in half so the cheese and seasonings stay inside. Repeat with the rest.
Step 8
Beat the eggs thoroughly with a fork until the yolks and whites are well combined.
Step 9
Dip each folded cutlet completely in the beaten eggs.
Step 10
Coat both sides generously with breadcrumbs. You can use store-bought ones or make your own by drying and grinding white bread.
Step 11
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the cutlets and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. If the meat is thinly pounded, it will cook quickly.
Step 12
Transfer the cooked turkey cutlets to a plate and serve hot. Enjoy your meal!
