Quick & Easy Cutlets
Fancy restaurant-style cutlets in a light mustard cream sauce, made in one pan! A great way to enjoy turkey without having to roast a turkey. Turkey cutlets are boneless and thinner so they cook fast! Cutlets can be air fried in bacon grease (for extra flavor) and then added to the sauce, and served over easy rice pilaf or pasta.
Ingredients for Turkey Cutlets
Turkey – Turkey cutlets are thin, boneless, and skinless slices of turkey breast. They cook quickly on the grill or stovetop. But chicken tenderloins, boneless thighs, or even pork chops will work with the versatile sauce. Use a meat mallet to create an even thickness with any protein used. Sauce – Heavy cream is the base for a rich and creamy sauce. Dijon mustard and tarragon give it a European-style flavor. It’s delicate but also has that savory flavor that pairs so well with mashed potatoes or noodles. Variations – Instead of Dijon, try whisking in a little Bleu Cheese dressing and adding rosemary instead of basil. For a simple change, try deglazing the pan with dry white wine instead of broth.
