Ingredients

Scale

For the Turkey Cutlets

  • 1 pound turkey cutlets
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter

For the Sauce and Topping

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Flour Mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, mixing thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
  2. Coat the Turkey Cutlets: Dredge each turkey cutlet in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess to prevent clumping.
  3. Cook the Cutlets: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Add the turkey cutlets and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Reduce the heat to low, add the minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring to prevent burning.
  5. Add Sauce Ingredients: Stir in the honey, chili flakes, and fresh lemon juice into the skillet, mixing well to combine all flavors. Spoon the sauce over the turkey cutlets to coat them evenly.
  6. Finish with Feta and Garnish: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top of the turkey cutlets and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant touch.
  7. Serve: Serve the turkey cutlets immediately with your favorite side dishes to enjoy the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, let the coated turkey cutlets rest for 5 minutes before cooking to allow the flour mixture to adhere better.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
  • Substitute feta with goat cheese if desired for a creamier topping.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently to retain moisture.
