Gluten-Free Pan-Fried Turkey Cutlets Recipe
Pan-Fried turkey cutlets are golden brown and crisp, the ultimate comfort food. This easy recipe uses a little rice flour, almond flour and seasonings. It comes together fast, making it perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ pounds thinly sliced turkey breast cutlets
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup rice flour
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- olive oil
- 2 fresh lemons
- ¼ cup chopped parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Set up three shallow bowls. In the first, combine the rice flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Beat the eggs in the second bowl. Place the almond flour in the third bowl.
- Dredge each turkey cutlet in the seasoned rice flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it evenly with almond flour.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or sauté pan.
- Place the breaded cutlets in the hot oil in a single layer. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the hot cutlets and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
How to Keep The Turkey Warm Before Your Meal
If dinner is about 30 minutes away, you can keep the cooked turkey warm in a 200°F oven. Preheat the oven before you start cooking and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Once the turkey is cooked and seasoned with lemon and salt, place it on the pan. Keep it in the oven, uncovered, for up to 30 minutes to stay warm without drying out.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They're usually eaten up quickly and don't last that long.
