Turkey meat is highly valued in dietary nutrition due to its high protein content and at the same time low amount of fat. Turkey cutlets, for example, will bring half as many calories as chicken cutlets, but will not be inferior in taste.

See for yourself: 100 g of turkey contains only 12% fat, and the same serving of chicken contains almost 19%. At the same time, it has a rather dense structure, and when cooked (in any dish) it always turns out soft and very tender.

Cutlets rightfully occupy one of the honorable places in culinary experiments - they can be eaten as an independent meal, or served with a side dish or vegetable salad.
And we will cook them in three ways - in the oven, in a frying pan and in a slow cooker. Shall we get started?

You can vary the classic recipe for these cutlets if you wish. For example, add finely chopped pieces of turkey meat (in thin strips or small cubes) to the prepared minced meat. In any case, the cutlets turn out juicy and look incredibly appetizing.

Don’t be afraid to add garlic to the turkey mince - it will help reveal the taste of the dietary dish, and will not leave a specific “trail” after the meal.

Ingredients:

Minced turkey – 500 g.
red onion – ½ head,
hard cheese – 50 g.
garlic – 1 large clove,
egg – 2 pcs.
oatmeal or bran - 2 tbsp. l.
salt, black pepper - to taste.

Preparation:

– chop the onion and garlic with a knife, chop the flakes with a blender, cut the cheese into cubes;

– put the finished semi-finished products in a mold and pour in a little hot water or broth;

— bake in the oven (at 180° C) for 30-35 minutes;

Turkey with cheese and oatmeal are ready. Serve with any side dish (rice, buckwheat, durum pasta), or with stewed or fresh vegetables.

How to cook turkey cutlets in a frying pan according to Yu. Vysotskaya’s recipe

We will complement the healthy nutrition recipes with another interesting combination of flavors - marinated turkey meat and fresh beans (this will become the basis of the recipe, not counting the spices). Why is it important to use fresh beans and not replace canned ones?

Juicy and soft steamed turkey cutlets with vegetables in a slow cooker

Steamed food is the healthiest and most dietary. Dishes, as a rule, turn out juicy and retain as much vitamins and valuable substances as possible, so necessary for our body.

In this healthy recipe, we'll use bell peppers to make the ground turkey even juicier. The color of the vegetable does not matter, but if desired, you can make “colored” cuts from yellow, green and red peppers. Then the cutlets will turn out not only healthy, but also beautiful.

I advise you to add turmeric to the minced meat - to give taste and a beautiful color to the cutlets

– form cutlets and place in the multicooker bowl;
– cook for 25-30 minutes in “steam” mode.

Soft, tender and incredibly juicy steamed cutlets are ready. Bon appetit!

Turkey cutlets are a great dish for every day that will fill the body with energy and keep you feeling full for a long time. Tender turkey meat harmonizes perfectly with any vegetables and herbs, and reveals a richness of taste both boiled and baked.

In our family, as in many others, cutlets have always been and remain one of the favorite meat dishes. We cook them in every way: fry, stew, steam. And we try a variety of options based on the composition of ingredients. Steamed cutlets are certainly healthier than fried ones. After all, they are prepared without oil and are only treated with steam coming from boiling water, which makes them very tender and juicy. Today we had a desire to cook steamed turkey cutlets. To prevent them from turning out dry (turkey meat, as you know, is not particularly tender), add a little lard pork and melted cheese to the minced meat. And instead of the usual piece of bread, we use grated potatoes - this will not only add juiciness to the finished cutlets, but also slightly change their taste for the better. Such turkey cutlets are usually prepared in a double boiler or slow cooker, but since we don’t have such devices in our house, we’ll use a pressure cooker. After all, the principle of operation of these devices is similar.

Ingredients:

• turkey fillet – 1 kg;
• pork belly with lard – 300 gr.;
• processed cheese – 140 gr.;
• spices (ground pepper, paprika, salt);
• garlic;
• onions - 2 small heads (or 1 large);
• potatoes - 2 small tubers;
• chicken egg;
• semolina – 40 gr.;
• vegetable oil (for lubricating dishes);
• mayonnaise – 30 gr.

• For greater juiciness, you can supplement the ingredients with a small piece of butter.

• Cooking time for steam cutlets is about an hour.

How to cook steamed turkey cutlets:

We thoroughly wash all the meat, peel and rinse the vegetables. Cut the prepared products into small pieces and grind (preferably twice) in a meat grinder until minced.

Grate the peeled potatoes and melted cheese on a fine grater, add to the cup with the chopped meat, and mix. In principle, the cheese can be processed in a meat grinder along with the rest of the ingredients.

Season the minced meat with spices, add egg, mayonnaise and semolina.

After thoroughly mixing, leave the meat mass alone for ten minutes, then roll it into small cutlets.

Immediately place the required amount in oiled tiers with pressure cooker holes, which we place on a pan of boiling water.

We’ll put the rest of the cutlets directly on the board into the freezer, that is, we’ll store the finished semi-finished product. There were 23 pieces in total.

With water boiling moderately in a saucepan, steam the turkey cutlets for 30 minutes. Serve still hot with any side dish.

Bon appetit!!!

Soak any cereal flakes or just rolled oats in water, broth, milk, yogurt or a mixture of sour cream and milk. The flakes should soften and swell. While the oats are preparing, make the stuffing for the steamed turkey cutlets.

Fillet from almost any part of the turkey is suitable for minced meat: from the breast, from the thighs or, as in this recipe, from the drumsticks. It is enough to simply cut the breast meat into pieces that are convenient for loading into a meat grinder. Meat from thighs and especially drumsticks must be separated from skin, bones and cartilage.

Scroll the pieces of turkey meat into a meat grinder along with onions and, if desired, garlic. These vegetables will give the cutlets the necessary juiciness and improve the taste.

To prepare the cutlet mass, combine ground turkey with chopped onion and swollen flakes. Lightly salt the minced meat and add the selected spices (fresh chopped herbs, aromatic dry herbs, ground peppers and/or ready-made national spice mixtures).
Mix the ingredients well and thoroughly knead the minced meat into a homogeneous sticky mass.

Give the cutlet mass a round shape, flatten it and distribute it into equal portions with a knife or, simply, with the edge of your palm. First, mark out an even quantity, and if an odd number is required, then in the very center, grab a portion of minced meat in approximately the same quantity as for the “even” cutlets. The procedure is simple and guarantees that all cutlets will be the same size.

Form the patties into the desired shape: round, oval with a blunt end, or oval with a pointed end.

Place the turkey cutlets on a steaming surface. Steamers usually provide the ability to cook on several required levels at once.

Multicookers often have a basket that is installed on the top of the bowl. This is very convenient because at the same time you can prepare a side dish, for example potatoes, in a bowl under the basket.

There are also stands for steaming, which are placed directly on the bottom of the multicooker bowl. They are especially convenient in combination with the upper basket when you need to cook a large number of steamed cutlets.

Steaming time depends on the size of the cutlets and averages 20 minutes of intense boiling.

When serving, ready-made steamed turkey cutlets can be sprinkled with grated cheese, sesame seeds, fresh chopped herbs or sauce.

Many parents are faced with the problem of poor appetite in children. The child needs not only to be fed nutritious food, but also to take care of the benefits of breakfast, lunch or dinner. Steamed turkey cutlets are an excellent option for a dietary dish, suitable for children, allergy sufferers and people with digestive problems.

About the dish

Ground turkey cutlets are steamed and contain turkey meat, which is considered dietary and valued for its unique chemical composition. The product is saturated with enzymes: nicotinic acid, tocopherol, retinol. Microelements: phosphorus, potassium, iodine, iron.

Turkey meat has a preventive effect against anemia, prevents the development of harmful organisms, improves metabolism, and improves the proper functioning of the nervous system. The product contains a high amount of protein, so steamed minced turkey cutlets are dietary and low-calorie.

The dish is prepared without much effort. All that is required from the cook is to properly prepare the minced meat. You won’t have to stand at the stove, because semi-finished meat products will be cooked in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can use a multicooker with the “Steam” function or even a pan for cooking manti.

The dish is surprisingly easy to make. The process is practically no different from preparing the most ordinary cutlets. The minced meat is mixed with onions and spices are added. This recipe contains cottage cheese, which further increases the amount of protein and the benefits of steamed turkey cutlets for children.

It is best to use breast fillet for making cutlets; it contains the least amount of bad cholesterol. The finished products will not turn out dry due to the remaining ingredients - onions and fermented milk products - sour cream and cottage cheese. If there is a need to increase the calorie content of the dish and make the cutlets fattier, then you need to use turkey thigh fillet, and also mix poultry with minced pork or lamb. Below is a simple and delicious recipe on how to cook steamed turkey cutlets for a child, step by step.

Diet food can be not only healthy, but also very tasty. The main thing is to prepare it correctly. For example, take steamed turkey cutlets. If you add vegetables or cottage cheese, spices, a little butter or sour cream to the minced meat, then all members of your family will enjoy eating this dish. In this recipe I will tell you how to cook very tasty and, at the same time, dietary steamed turkey cutlets in a double boiler or in a slow cooker.

Kitchen appliances and accessories: multicooker (steamer), meat grinder (blender), scales, cutting board, bowl, knife.

Cutlets can be prepared from both turkey and chicken fillets, as well as from other parts of the poultry carcass (thighs, drumsticks). Of course, without skin and fat. When choosing meat, pay attention to the fact that it is fresh, white-pink in color and has a smell characteristic of poultry meat. Its surface should be dry and its consistency should be elastic.

For juiciness and usefulness, I add cottage cheese and sour cream to the cutlets. I advise you to take dairy products with a minimum shelf life, no more than a week. They are the most natural. Before purchasing, always look at the ingredients of the product - it should not contain preservatives or other additives that significantly extend shelf life, as well as palm oil and other vegetable fats. Choose soft cottage cheese with a paste-like consistency, 5-9% fat, sour cream - fat, 30%.

Step-by-step preparation

1. Wash turkey fillet weighing about 500 grams, remove cartilage and fat if necessary and cut into small pieces. We pass it together with a small onion through a meat grinder or grind it in a blender.
2. Transfer the minced meat into a bowl and add 180-200 grams of soft cottage cheese and a spoonful of sour cream.

   For a more delicate consistency of the cutlets, it is advisable to grind the cottage cheese through a metal sieve or beat it in a blender.

   
   
   
3. Beat the egg into the minced meat.
   
   
4. Add 2 tablespoons of semolina, pepper and salt to taste.
   
   
5. Mix.
   
   
6. We form cutlets of any shape and size (according to your desire). I prefer to keep them small.

   To prevent the minced meat from sticking to your hands, you need to periodically wet your hands with cold water.

   
   
   
7. Pour a glass of water into the multicooker bowl (steamer reservoir), add a little spice to the water for flavor. Place the steamer bowl and grease it lightly with butter (butter or vegetable).
   
   
8. Place the cutlets in a bowl. Cook them in the “Steam” mode for 25-30 minutes.
   
   

Serving the dish
