Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless turkey breast cutlets pounded thinly - 400g
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • ¾ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup peanut oil or high-smoke point oil for frying
  • 4 hamburger buns or brioche buns
  • 4 tbsp tonkatsu sauce

Toppings

  • 2 leaves cabbage shredded
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 4 leaves lettuce
  • slices jalapeno optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the turkey cutlets:

  • With a meat mallet (or back of a knife), pound the turkey breast to tenderize and even out thinly.
  • Have 3 shallow dishes ready.
  • In one dish, lightly beat 3 eggs.
  • To the second dish, add the all-purpose flour.
  • In the third dish, add the Panko breadcrumbs (or more as needed).
  • Lightly season each dish with salt and pepper and give each a mix.
  • Dredge the pounded turkey breast into the egg first.
  • Then, coat the turkey with flour.
  • Next, dredge the turkey back into the egg, and then coat evenly with Panko breadcrumbs.
  • Set aside.
  • Repeat with the remaining turkey breast cutlets.

Frying the turkey cutlets:

  • Add about 1 cup of oil to a large shallow frying pan and heat to 350°F/177°C.
  • Cook the turkey cutlets one at a time (about 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once halfway through), until golden brown.
  • Check the internal temperature of the turkey to ensure it reaches 165°F/74°C.
  • Remove the turkey cutlet and drain on paper towel.
  • Repeat with the remaining turkey cutlets.

Assemble:

  • Slice a hamburger bun in half.
  • Spread 1 Tbsp tonkatsu sauce onto the bottom half of a hamburger bun.
  • Place the fried turkey cutlet on the bun.
  • Add toppings such as shredded cabbage, sliced tomatoes, lettuce and jalapenos.
  • Place the top half of the hamburger bun on top and repeat with the remainder. Enjoy immediately.
