15 minutes

Turkey schnitzel with Parmesan is an exquisite dish of French cuisine that combines the tenderness of turkey with the rich flavor of Parmesan. The history of schnitzel is rooted in European traditions of preparing thinly pounded meat, and the use of Parmesan adds a unique creamy note. Egg, spices, and chili pepper create a balanced palette of flavors that unfolds when fried in a pan. The browning of the cheese gives a crispy crust while the tender meat retains its juiciness. This dish pairs perfectly with vegetables or fresh salads, creating a harmonious dinner. It is best served hot to enjoy the stretchy cheese and aroma of spices.
