- Turkey fillet should be cut into pieces approximately 3x3 cm in size.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- Mix the resulting mixture very well and form into neat round patties of the same size.
- 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.

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 rules | Summary of actions |
If possible, cook minced turkey fillet yourself | Store-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 cutlets | If 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 beaten | During 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. |
After processing, the minced meat must be placed in the refrigerator for about 1.5 hours | Over a given period of time, the taste of the spices used will be better revealed in the minced meat, and cutlets made from chilled raw materials retain their shape better. |
Turkey cutlets, when forming them, will not stick to your hands if your palms are first moistened in cool water. To make the products more juicy, with a crispy crust and low fat content, it is recommended to additionally bread them and fry them in the oven.
