Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound thin sliced turkey or chicken cutlets
  • Kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder for seasoning the turkey or chicken
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten with a splash of water
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (can also substitute regular)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven (if using) to 450 degrees. If using an air fryer, the cooking temperature will be 400 degrees, so preheat to that temperature if your air fryer requires preheating.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken or turkey cutlets generously with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese together in a shallow, wide bowl. Add the beaten eggs to another shallow, wide bowl. Add the flour to another shallow bowl.
  3. Dip each seasoned chicken or turkey cutlet into the flour on both sides, tapping off the excess. Next dip the cutlet into the eggs, letting the excess drip off. Now place the cutlet into the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese mixture, pressing the coating into both sides of the cutlets. Place on a board and repeat with the remaining cutlets.

Oven Bake Method:

  1. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and place the cutlets on the sheet in a single layer. Spray the tops of the cutlets with the cooking spray (we like to use an avocado oil or olive oil cooking spray) and bake in the oven for 7 minutes.
  2. Remove the cutlets from the oven and turn over, spraying with the cooking spray again, and bake for another 6-7 minutes.

Air Fryer Method:

  1. Spray the insert or racks of you air fryer with cooking spray and place the cutlets on the racks in a single layer. Spray the tops of the cutlets with cooking spray.
  2. Cook for 5 minutes at 400 degrees, flip the cutlets over and spray again with cooking spray and cook another 5 minutes on the other side.

 

Recipe Notes

To reheat leftover cutlets, microwave for 30 seconds on each side or reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes.
