Marinated with spices, transformed into crispy meatballs, slipped into a club sandwich, or stuffed with cheese, turkey and chicken escalopes can be transformed as desired. With their mild and neutral flavor, the latter allows for all sorts of seasonings and preparations. The proof in 20 recipes.
When it comes to cooking, turkey and chicken cutlets definitely deserve their place at the top of the podium when it comes to easy-to-prepare proteins. Serve them alongside vegetables and/or grains for a complete dinner in no time.
What to do with a turkey or chicken cutlet?
There are a thousand and one ways to prepare a turkey or chicken escalope. You can cover it with creamy cream, coat it with breadcrumbs or prepare it Milanese style. For more flavor, cook it in a sauce of your choice, such as curry, or stuff it with cheese like the essential homemade cordon bleu. Are you having guests for dinner? Simply cover your escalopes with mushroom stuffing before rolling them into paupiettes. For an aperitif, cut them into pieces and prick them with a wooden stick to obtain pretty little skewers. And for those of you in a hurry, breaded escalopes also make an excellent filling for sandwiches or homemade tacos, ideal for a takeaway version.
What accompaniments for my escalope?
If the classic cream-mushroom combo is a hit with our escalopes, it is far from being the only option. Homemade mash, sautéed vegetables, rice, pasta in sauce, customized salads or even gratins of all kinds… let your imagination run wild. Between two slices of bread or in a corn pancake, chicken escalope goes perfectly with a little avocado, a spoonful of mayonnaise and a few lettuce leaves. With escalope, anything goes, provided of course that you respect the seasonality of the food. In addition to helping to respect the environment, this reflex allows you to eat dishes that are in line with our body’s needs, from a nutritional point of view.
