    This Turkey Cutlet Recipe is:

    • it's an easy recipe for a simple meal
    • really delicious
    • low in fat and calories
    • super satisfying

    • it's the best way to air fry turkey breast meat

    Ingredients:

    All of the ingredients needed to make Turkey Breast Cutlets in the Air Fryer.

    Ingredient List:

    • Turkey breast cutlets
      • If you can't find turkey cutlets, use a small turkey tenderloin and slice it horizontally.
    • Poultry seasoning
      • I used a coarse poultry seasoning with chunks of dried herbs. If you use regular ground poultry seasoning, decrease the amount to ½ teaspoon.
    • Sweet paprika
      • You could also use smoked paprika or hot paprika depending on what you like and have on hand.
    • Salt and pepper

    Full ingredients list & measurements are provided in the recipe card.

    Step-by-Step Instructions for the Air Fryer:

    Air fryer basket with two raw seasoned turkey cutlets.

    Season the cutlets and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Use olive oil spray or cooking spray first to prevent the cutlets from sticking.

    Cook at 325 for 10-15 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees f. Cook time varies depending on the size of your air fryer and the wattage.

    Turkey Breast Cutlets Recipe Variations:

    • Swap the turkey cutlets and make air fryer chicken cutlets using a boneless breast of chicken, thinly sliced. If you don't have boneless use regular chicken breasts and cut the meat off the bone yourself.
    • Use a skin-on boneless turkey breast and slice it vertically instead of horizontally to get that crispy skin we all love.
    • Go Italian by sprinkling on Italian seasoning and garlic powder instead of poultry seasoning. Serve over pasta with marinara sauce, toasted bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese. Yum.

    Equipment:

    • Air Fryer - I used the 4 quart mini PowerXL model.
    • Tongs
    • Meat thermometer or instant-read thermometer
    • Olive oil spray or cooking spray

    Storing Leftovers:

    Leftover turkey should be eaten within 3-4 days at the most. Wrap in plastic, then place in an airtight container for best results. Always refrigerate. I do not recommend freezing because the cutlets are thin and tend to dry out.

    Pro Tip

    • Turkey has very little fat and it can dry out quickly. I like to spritz the meat with olive oil spray before adding the seasonings. It will add moisture and a sheen to the cooked turkey, in addition to aiding in browning.

    Serving Suggestions:

    • I served the turkey breast cutlets with Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes, Traditional Bread Stuffing, and homemade Cranberry Sauce.
    • Serve turkey cutlets with any of your favorite sides for a meal the whole family will love.

    Equipment

    • Air Fryer
    • Tongs
    • Meat thermometer or instant read thermometer
    • Olive oil spray and/or cooking spray

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 Turkey cutlets
    • 1 teaspoon Poultry seasoning
    • 1 spritz Olive oil spray or regular cooking spray

    Instructions
     

    • Pat the turkey cutlets dry with a paper towel. Lightly spritz with olive oil spray or cooking spray. If you don't have the spray just brush a little olive oil on the meat and on the surface of the air fryer basket.
    • Season the cutlets with poultry seasoning and salt and pepper. If you are using a finely ground poultry seasoning use ½ teaspoon instead of 1 teaspoon. Salt and pepper to your liking.
    • Place the seasoned cutlets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Use olive oil spray or cooking spray first to prevent the cutlets from sticking.
    • Set your air fryer to 325 degrees and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165 degrees.
    • Remove from the fryer and serve while still piping hot.

    Notes

    Remember that air fryers vary in size and wattage. The cooking time you need may not be the same as mine. For the record, these were cooked using the 4-quart mini PowerXL model air fryer. I recommend checking for doneness at ten minutes. If the internal temperature is not yet 165 degrees continue cooking. Check frequently.
    Due to the thinness of turkey cutlets, an instant-read thermometer works best.

      I don't think I've ever seen the poultry blend here in Canada but I would love to find it. I could eat turkey any time of year and this cutlet recipe is the perfect way to do that.

      Such a simple and delicious way to enjoy turkey cutlets! I like the addition of a little smoked paprika. But I agree 100% that this is a great way to taste that Thanksgiving vibe any time of year. So good!
