Turkey is perfect for many dishes, including cutlets - they can be delicious, tender, and suitable for almost everyone.

There are plenty of great recipes you can try, but the simplest traditional recipe is often the best one.

Here's how you can make your turkey cutlets perfect.

Prep the Turkey Cutlets

Start by patting the turkey cutlets dry with a paper towel. 

This helps them cook evenly. You can also season them with a little salt and pepper for extra flavor.

Coat with Flour

Pour some flour onto a plate. Take each turkey cutlet and press both sides into the flour. 

Make sure they're lightly coated. This flour coating helps them get crispy when you cook them.

Heat the Pan

Put a pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add a bit of cooking oil or butter to the pan. 

You can use either one, or even a mix of both, depending on your taste.

Cook the Cutlets

When the oil or butter is hot and sizzling, carefully place the turkey cutlets in the pan. 

Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. 

The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your cutlets.

Check for Doneness

To make sure your turkey cutlets are cooked through, you can use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.

Serve

Once your turkey cutlets are perfectly cooked and golden brown on both sides, take them out of the pan and let them rest for a minute or two. 

Then, you can serve them with your favorite side dishes.

Conclusion

That's it! You've made delicious and perfect turkey cutlets. Enjoy your meal!
