Turkey chops

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.

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.
