Baked Parmesan Turkey Cutlets Recipe

Turkey cutlets (also known as paillards) are pounded or thinly sliced cuts of turkey breast. The fact that the thin pieces of meat cook quickly is one of the biggest advantages. Plus, turkey breast is lean, and it's an excellent alternative to veal, pork, or chicken cutlets. These baked turkey cutlets are lean and flavorful with a simple parmesan cheese and breadcrumb coating. A small amount of spicy mustard in the egg coating adds extra flavor to the turkey cutlets. The simple breaded cutlets make a tasty dish with baked potatoes and a side vegetable, or slice them and serve on a caesar salad. Or arrange the cooked cutlets in a baking dish with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese and bake just until the cheese has melted. A lemon sauce would be excellent on the cutlets as well.
