Cook Time

Yield

4-6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless, skinless Ontario turkey breast (about 1¼ lb/570 g)
  • 3/4 tsp (3.75 mL) each salt and fresh ground pepper, divided
  • 1/3 cup (85 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups (500 mL) panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) canola oil
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced

Japanese Ketchup

  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) ketchup
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) each Worcestershire sauce and rice vinegar
  • 4 tsp (20 mL) sodium-reduced soy sauce
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced or rasped

Instructions

  • To make the Japanese ketchup, whisk together ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Using a chef’s knife, thinly slice turkey breast crosswise on a slight angle to make small cutlets. Using a meat mallet, pound each cutlet slightly to even out thinly. Place on a large plate and sprinkle both sides evenly with some of the salt and pepper.
  • Place flour on one plate, beat eggs in shallow dish, and place bread crumbs in another. Season all three with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
  • Dredge each turkey piece into flour first, then egg, letting excess drip off. Coat both sides well with panko crumbs and set aside. Repeat with remaining turkey.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/3 cup (85 mL) of the oil over medium high heat and cook turkey pieces in batches, adding remaining oil as needed, turning once, about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  • Serve with Japanese Ketchup and sprinkle with green onions.
