The simplest recipe

Turkey cutlets are juicy (they can be baked in the oven after pre-frying) even when using a basic set of products.

Preparation next.

What ingredients will you need?

The basic list of products includes:

  • chilled turkey fillet (in the original it is advisable to use meat from the legs, but for a dietary option you can use fillet from the breast) – 500 g;
  • unsweetened wheat loaf (it is advisable to use “yesterday’s”) – 40 g;
  • whole cow's milk with a fat mass fraction of 2.5% - 70 ml;
  • onion weighing about 120 g - 1 pc.;

  • unboiled table egg – 1 pc.;

  • set of spices for minced poultry – 5-7 g.

If the set of spices does not contain ground pepper, then it must be added separately in the amount of 1-2 g.

Step-by-step cooking process

When making cutlets without ready-made minced meat, the steps are arranged in the following sequence:

  1. Turkey fillet should be cut into pieces approximately 3x3 cm in size.
  2. Place the slices in a food bag and then place them in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. Refrigerate the meat for about 1 hour. Cooling the fillets will make them easier to shred.
  3. After an hour, the meat should be minced 2 times.
  4. Pour milk into a bowl and soak the loaf in it for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. The onion must be peeled and grated.

  6. Squeeze the soaked loaf from the milk and mash it to a paste.
  7. Add the mush from the loaf and onion to the rolled meat.
  8. Melt the butter and pour it into the rest of the ingredients.
  9. Add egg, spices and salt to the minced meat. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
  10. Then the minced meat must be kneaded by hand. Approximate kneading time is about 7 minutes.
  11. The kneaded minced meat should be collected into a ball and beaten.
  12. Place the minced meat in a bag and let it rest in the refrigerator for approximately 1.5-2 hours.
  13. Next, you need to prepare a container with cool water and turn on the oven to warm up. The required temperature is 190 degrees.
  14. Wet your palms in water and form the minced meat into medium-sized cutlets. The products should be placed on a suitable container coated with oil.
  15. Bake the cutlets for about 25-30 minutes. Approximately 15 minutes after the start of baking, you must carefully turn the products over.

Cutlets baked in the oven can be served with any side dish and any gravy (or sauce). Fresh vegetables are considered an ideal addition to the dish.

What can I add?

The recipe is basic, so the cutlets can be filled with filling (for example, mushrooms, cheese, ham), baked with vegetables, in gravy, and also added to the minced vegetables. These recipes are discussed in more detail later in the article.

Basic ground turkey recipe

To prepare delicious cutlets, you need to carefully follow the technology. You should be especially careful when choosing minced meat. You can purchase a ready-made version in any supermarket, however, be careful - such minced meat may contain particles of cartilage or offal, which is why it often loses its taste, and the finished products will not be so soft.
To ensure high-quality minced turkey cutlets in the oven, it is better to prepare the minced meat yourself. To do this, purchase fresh turkey meat (note that it should not be frozen) and grind it through a meat grinder twice. Ingredients for cutlets :

  • minced turkey – 500 g;
  • white loaf – 30-40 g;
  • cow's milk or low-fat cream – 70 ml;
  • onion – 1 pc.;
  • butter – 40 g;
  • chicken egg – 1 pc.;
  • salt, spices and fresh herbs - to taste.

Manufacturing method:

  1. You will need to prepare or purchase ground turkey in advance and pound it properly on a board or bowl to make the cutlets easier to shape.
  2. To the prepared minced meat you need to add a loaf previously soaked in milk, peeled from crusts and onions turned through a meat grinder. It is important to squeeze the bread well before adding it to the minced meat, otherwise the cutlets will not be able to keep their shape well.
  3. Finally, break an egg into the mixture, add melted butter and salt with chopped fresh herbs (dill and parsley are excellent; for those who like it, we can recommend cilantro).
  4. Mix the resulting mixture very well and form into neat round patties of the same size.
  5. Place the blanks on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes at a temperature of 180-200 degrees.

Ready-made cutlets go well with most side dishes of vegetables and cereals.

Do you agree - a great alternative to pork tenderloin or chicken? Let's find out how many calories are in turkey.

Oddly enough, the nutritional value of turkey may vary depending on the part of the carcass and the method of cooking. The red parts of the turkey are slightly higher in calories than the white parts, and the breast has minimal nutritional value. It is considered a truly dietary, almost priceless product.

How many calories are in turkey breast? One hundred grams of raw brisket contains almost 89 kilocalories. The sirloin, which can be cut from either side of the carcass, will be slightly higher in calories - there are 116 kilocalories in a serving of the same mass. The most high-calorie parts of the turkey are the backs and wings.

On a note! Almost 260 kilocalories are contained in the skin of turkey. The by-products of this bird cannot be called dietary. Their calorie content can vary from 137 to 260 kilocalories.

As already mentioned, the nutritional value directly depends on the turkey recipe, as well as the method of cooking. Many gourmets love to enjoy a piece of turkey roasted to an amber crust. How many calories are in roast turkey? Its nutritional value will be maximum and reaches almost 182 kilocalories per 100 grams of product. Although you know, when boiled, the turkey loin does not go very far. So, how many calories are in boiled turkey? About 180 kilocalories.

The greatest benefit to the human body will come from baked or steamed turkey. In this form, the bird can be given even to small children. How many calories are in baked turkey? The nutritional value of fillet in this form is approximately 132 kilocalories.

How many calories are in turkey stew? Cooked poultry in this form is also considered a low-calorie product, because a 100-gram serving contains about 140 kilocalories.

Many housewives are accustomed to preparing minced meat from the sirloin, and then making delicious and satisfying cutlets. How many calories are in a turkey cutlet? It is impossible to unambiguously determine the nutritional value of cutlets made from the meat of this bird. It all depends on the recipe and method of heat treatment.

Useful tips and tricks

Juicy turkey cutlets (the products absorb less fat in the oven) with a crispy crust and delicate texture are obtained if the following basic rules are observed:

Main rulesSummary of actions
If possible, cook minced turkey fillet yourselfStore-bought minced meat often contains cartilage, skin, as well as preservatives and dyes (to give the product the desired color).
For minced meat, it is advisable to use only chilled meat. If you have frozen food, you should defrost it properly. In chilled meat, almost all nutrients are retained, and the minced meat also has a more delicate texture. When using frozen fillets, it should be defrosted gradually. That is, initially about 6-8 hours in the refrigerator, then at room temperature, until completely defrosted. It is strictly forbidden to use a microwave oven or hot water. If you defrost quickly, the minced meat cutlets will turn out hard and dry.
Keep in mind that the type of meat chopping affects the taste of the cutletsIf you grind the fillets using a meat grinder, they turn out more tender. And if you chop the meat finely with a knife, the products turn out more juicy.
The finished minced meat must be kneaded by hand for about 5-8 minutes, and then beatenDuring the process of kneading and beating, excess air comes out of the minced meat, so the cutlets hold their shape better. To beat the finished minced meat, you need to raise it above the table (about 20 cm) and lower it into a container on the table.
