  Turkey slices, or cutlets, are boneless, skinless, and offer an alternative to chicken breasts or cooking an entire turkey. The cutlets are sliced from the breast, across the grain of the meat and may be up to 99 percent fat free.

Breaded

Pour 1/3 cup of seasoned bread crumbs onto a shallow plate. Dip the turkey cutlets into the breading, pressing gently to thoroughly coat each cutlet. Heat 2 to 3 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add breaded cutlets to the pan and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until they’re golden brown.

Tip Serve sautéd cutlets with gravy or a simple white-wine sauce. Pair breaded cutlets with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Related Reading 10 Healthy Chicken Recipes You Haven’t Tried
