Turkey cutlets are low in calories and contain a large amount of useful microelements.
There is only one problem: if cooked incorrectly, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova , there is a risk that the dish will turn out dry and tough.
Therefore, experienced cooks include, so to speak, additional elements in the minced meat that make the cutlets tender and tasty.
Bread
A loaf of bread soaked in milk is a popular way for housewives to make cutlets more tender. It is also suitable for turkey. It is best to use slightly dried out yesterday's bread, it will absorb more moisture and make the cutlets even more tender.
Vegetables
They are sometimes used as an alternative to regular bread. Zucchini, potatoes, zucchini, carrots - all of them are suitable. However, it is important not to overdo it and choose only one type of vegetable, otherwise the mince will become too liquid and the taste of the meat will be suppressed by the additives.
Onion
There should be a lot of it in poultry cutlets, the ideal proportion is 1 part onion to 5 parts meat. To get ideal cutlets, you can blend half the onion until puree, and cut the other half into cubes and fry in butter. Then mince the fried onion together with the meat. This way, the cutlets will not only be juicy, but also have a delicate creamy taste.
Water
If, even after adding everything necessary, the mince is still dense and dry, you can add a little cold water.
