3. Tip for Roasting the Turkey Escalope
The turkey schnitzel is cut from the turkey breast, it is very lean meat and must be fried or generally cooked briefly.
Unfortunately, low-fat meat tends to dry out and nobody wants a dry schnitzel on their plate.
The more evenly the meat is cut, up to 1 cm thick, the better the roasting result.
4. Fry Turkey Schnitzel Temperature
The temperature when roasting turkey escalope should be very high. Please preheat the pan well so that the meat roasts and does not boil!
I show it step by step in the cooking video. The pan is hot enough when a drop of water dances on the pan surface.
5. Fry Turkey Escalope with Butter or Oil?
Butter is not suitable for frying at high temperatures and will burn. The butter would have to be clarified before frying.
I’ll show that in another post. Therefore, please use clarified butter, coconut oil, sunflower oil or corn oil to fry the turkey escalope.

6. Roasting time of the turkey cutlets
For me, roasting the turkey escalope takes about 6 minutes, the cooking video shows the preparation in real time.
If you cut the schnitzel thicker, reduce the temperature after searing on both sides and let the schnitzel cook a little longer. Good luck!
Some sweet paprika just before serving, herbs like thyme and rosemary, there are hardly any limits to your imagination, I like to bake my turkey schnitzel with some cheese.
7. Turkey schnitzel naturally fried
Naturally roasted means: Without breading, the schnitzel is usually only seasoned with salt and pepper, before, during or after roasting.
Then fried on both sides with little fat or no fat at all. In the video I show the roasting without fat, which already goes in the direction of grilling.
You can extend the seasoning of the natural schnitzel according to your taste:

8. Fry the breaded turkey escalope
Since I have published what is currently the most detailed instructions for breaded schnitzel on the Internet, I refer you to my Wiener Schnitzel article here.
There I show all the tricks of the professional chefs that I currently know.
There is also a new post about breading turkey schnitzel that summarizes everything briefly and concisely for you.

9. Turkey schnitzel as a diet dish
Serve the lean, roasted meat with lemon juice and a colorful leaf salad on a diet day.
It brings a good mood to the table and a colorful diet meal.
Another variation is my recipe below, with steamed veggies and basil.
