Prep and cook time: 30 minutes
| 1 1/2 | pound turkey cutlets, skinless and boneless |
| 2 | tablespoon Dijon mustard |
| 1 | cup panko bread crumbs |
| 3/4 | cup Parmesan cheese, grated |
| 3 | tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped |
| coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste | |
| 3 | large eggs , beaten |
| olive oil cooking spray |
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
[1] Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and coat the rack with cooking spray. Brush both sides of the turkey breast cutlets with mustard. In a pie plate or another shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley and salt and pepper.
[2 In another bowl, whisk the egg(s) until frothy. Dip each cutlet into the egg, then in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the cutlets on the prepared rack over the baking sheet.
[3] Coat the top of each cutlet with cooking spray and bake for 15-20 minutes until the crumb coating is golden brown and crisp.
I think 'panko' is a brand of bread crumb? I don't really know, but we just used the Western Family bread crumbs Cristin had in her pantry already. Once again, I didn't feel the need to over season with salt and pepper. The bread crumb/parmesan cheese mixture on the turkey was really, really yummy. If you don't want to spend the extra cash on the turkey cutlets, I think this recipe would work exactly as well on chicken. In fact, that's probably what I would use next time. (Though the turkey was super tender and moist and delicious!)
I didn't realize I'd need the wire rack, so I didn't bring mine over to Cristin's house. I ended up just cooking the turkey straight on the cookie sheet. They turned out just dandy that way.
We definitely will add this one to our 'favorites' list!

Looks yummy! And yes, panko is a Japanese bread crumb. Usually a bit bigger and crispier than the normal American kind you find in the store. :)
If you liked it with regular bread crumbs you really should try the panko ones, they make the best crispy crust. They are awesome for breading fish too.
