Turkey chops

Cookinero 27 Nov 2025

Turkey fillet is a dietary meat, but not everyone knows how to cook it so that it remains juicy. There is a recipe for turkey breast chops in batter with cheese, which keeps the meat tender and does not allow it to dry out. The popularity of this European dish is due to the ease of preparation and availability of products. The meat is traditionally served with a side dish and plenty of fresh vegetables. Many people like chops as a separate dish.

How to cook Turkey chops

Yes, you can use Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, or even a mild cheddar for a different flavor profile. Avoid soft cheeses like mozzarella as they won't provide the same texture.
Replace regular flour with almond flour, cornstarch, or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for coating. Ensure your cheese and seasonings are gluten-free certified.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain crispness.
Yes! Place battered chops on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
Try mashed potatoes, crisp green beans, roasted carrots, or a fresh garden salad. A lemon-dill sauce or cranberry relish also makes a great accompaniment.
Ensure chops are thoroughly coated in flour first (shake off excess), then promptly dip in batter before adding to the hot oil. Don't overcrowd the pan to maintain temperature.
Yes! Freeze battered chops on a parchment-lined tray before transferring to freezer bags. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes per side.
