Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground turkey
- 1 medium-sized White onion
- 2 pieces Cloves of garlic
- 2 slices Stale bread
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely chop the onion. Grate or mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
Tear the stale bread into small pieces and place them in a small bowl. Pour the milk over the bread and let it soak for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess milk and set the soaked bread aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, soaked bread, egg, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Step 4
Wet your hands with a little water to prevent sticking, then form the mixture into small oval-shaped cutlets, about 2-3 inches in size. You will get approximately 8-10 cutlets.
Step 5
Place the breadcrumbs on a shallow plate. Gently roll each cutlet in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the cutlets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Cook the cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. If needed, lower the heat slightly to ensure they cook evenly without burning.
Step 8
Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the cutlets warm with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh vegetable salad.
