Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • cup canned cranberry sauce preferably whole berry
  • 2 tsp fresh orange juice
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp fresh sage finely chopped
  • 4 turkey breast cutlets ½-inch-thick
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium heat until dark golden-brown with a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix cranberry sauce, orange juice, and nutmeg.
  • Add the brown butter to the bowl and mix well.
  • In a rimmed plate or shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper.
  • In another plate or bowl, mix breadcrumbs and sage.
  • Crack eggs into a third bowl and beat well.
  • Working with one cutlet at a time, dredge it in the flour, shaking off excess, then in the egg, letting the excess drip off, and then in the breadcrumb mixture to coat well. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining cutlets.
  • Place 2 cutlets in the basket of the air fryer and set to 375˚F for 10 minutes.
  • Cook cutlets until cooked through and golden brown. (For most even browning, flip cutlets halfway through cooking.)
  • Transfer cooked cutlets to a clean plate and keep warm.
  • Air fry the remaining two cutlets for 10 minutes at 375˚F, flipping halfway through if desired.
  • Serve turkey with cranberry sauce.

Notes

Plain canned cranberry sauce gets transformed into a luscious accompaniment for breaded turkey cutlets made healthier with air frying. That crisp, beautifully browned crust requires no added oil!
