Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make chopped turkey cutlets? Prepare the following ingredients. I used turkey breast, but fillets from other cuts would work too. It is better to take fresh meat, but if it is frozen, then defrost it only slightly; slightly frozen meat will be easier to cut with a knife. I use cornstarch, but you can use potato flour or regular flour instead. The eggs are small in size.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the turkey fillet under running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut off any remaining bones (if any). Place the meat on a cutting board and use a very sharp knife to cut into small cubes. Alternatively, you can grind the meat in a blender. Place the chopped meat in a deep bowl.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the garlic and pass through a press. First break the eggs into a separate bowl to check their freshness. Add eggs and chopped garlic cloves to a bowl with chopped turkey meat. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 4

Step 4
Add mayonnaise to the minced meat (it is added to make the cutlets juicier, you can omit it or replace it with sour cream), corn starch and salt to taste. If you wish, you can add ground black pepper or any other favorite seasonings. Mix everything very well again.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the prepared minced meat for chopped cutlets in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. During this time, the starch will absorb all the liquid. and it will be easier to place the cutlets in a frying pan.

Step 6

Step 6
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, pour vegetable oil into it for frying. Spoon the meat mixture into the pan using a tablespoon. The cutlets turn out like pancakes, the minced meat holds its shape very well and does not spread. Fry the cutlets until golden brown on one side first, then carefully turn them over and fry on the other.

Step 7

Step 7
Ready-made chopped turkey cutlets are good both hot and chilled. Hot cutlets go well with any side dish — pasta, rice, vegetables. When chilled, they are good to serve with bread, like sandwiches. These light cutlets are also suitable for children.
