Tortilla Crusted Turkey Cutlets with Spicy Avocado Sauce and Corn Pepper Relish is a really delicious and unique recipe to make for dinner.
For this recipe, we changed up “fried chicken” and made a healthier turkey cutlet recipe instead. We used lean turkey, baked it instead frying it, and didn’t add any salt or oil. Our family likes fried chicken, but it’s not very good for you. This turkey cutlet recipe allows you to enjoy a flavorful dish of “fried chicken,” without feeling bad about what you eat!
Ingredients needed:
- nonfat milk
- baked tortilla chips
- chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, minced garlic and cayenne pepper
- turkey cutlets
- red bell pepper
- corn
- sweet onion
- avocado
- cilantro
- lime juice
- red wine vinegar
How to make Tortilla Crusted Turkey Cutlets:
Prepare a dish of milk and a separate dish of ground tortilla chip crumbs with spices mixed in. Dip the turkey cutlets in the milk and then coat them in the spiced tortilla chip crumbs. Place them on a baking sheet, and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until cooked through.
To make the relish, briefly sauté bell peppers, corn and onion.
The avocado sauce served with the cutlets is really, really good too. In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, cilantro, milk, lime juice, red wine vinegar, garlic and cayenne. The relish and the avocado sauce both add so many great flavors to the turkey cutlets!
This is the re-post of a recipe that RecipeBoy posted back in 2012. McCormick Spices hired the RecipeBoy/RecipeGirl team to come up with healthy recipes using their spices. Then they brought us to their headquarters in Maryland to film recipe videos with their corporate chef. It was a great project, and it was a fun experience for Mom and son to work together.
We love this recipe because it’s something that’s really different. It isn’t your everyday chicken recipe. Turkey cutlets are easy to find in the poultry section of your market. So try out this recipe sometime soon. Enjoy!
I have a salsa recipe that I only McCormick spices with. It’s so quick and easy.
Tweeted about the recipe and giveaway.
I make LOTS with mccormick spices, but I guess my favorite would be guacamole!
I love to make chili or fajitas. Anything that I get to use a variety to change it up every time!
I mix several McCormick spices together to make my own taco seasoning…that’s my favorite.
I love to make Chili!
