Turkey meat is considered the most dietary and delicious. Therefore, any dishes from it always deserve attention. After all, a turkey is a guarantee of a successful lunch or dinner. I cooked the simplest - meatballs. Slightly crunchy pieces of champignons and fragrant dill greens only improve the taste of the dish.

To prepare such cutlets, we take the following products: minced turkey, dill, champignons (I have sterilized ones), white loaf (bread), garlic, salt, pepper and refined sunflower oil for frying.

Put the minced turkey in a bowl.

Soak the white loaf in cold water or milk. Squeeze and put in minced meat.

We clean the garlic, wash it and grate it with small holes. Add to minced meat and loaf.

Season with salt and pepper. You can add any dry herbs. Beat the minced meat with a blender until smooth or pass through a meat grinder.

Chop the mushrooms very finely. I had canned ones. Fresh ones need to be cut and lightly fried so that there is no excess liquid in the minced meat.

Add chopped dill.

Mix all mince ingredients thoroughly.

We form cutlets from minced meat and fry in a pan with sunflower oil on both sides.

Turkey cutlets with mushrooms and dill are ready.

Serve with any side dish.

Cooking features

To make turkey cutlets really tasty, you need to know how to bake them in the oven correctly. Almost everything matters: the choice and preparation of products, the time and method of cooking.

• You can buy minced turkey meat at any supermarket, but it is better to cook it from poultry fillet yourself. The purchased product may contain skin, cartilage. You yourself will make minced meat from the drumstick or breast, which will give you confidence in its quality.
• From fresh and chilled meat, minced meat will turn out more juicy. If using a frozen product, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator without attempting to speed up the process by immersing in warm water or heating it in the microwave. A sharp temperature drop contributes to a change in the structure of the protein, due to which the properties of the meat deteriorate, it becomes hard and dry.
• How much to grind the meat for making cutlets depends on your preferences. If you turn it through a meat grinder, the cutlets will be more tender. Chopping meat by hand will allow you to cook more juicy cutlets.
• To keep the cutlets better in shape, beat the minced meat on a bowl or board. Excess liquid leaves it, it becomes denser. The viscosity of minced meat is given by eggs, flour, starch, oatmeal, semolina.
• It will be easier to form cutlets if you moisten your hands in cold water, and cool the minced meat a little.
• Before folding into a mold and baking in the oven, turkey cutlets can be fried until golden brown in a pan. This will make them a little less healthy and more high-calorie, but they will become much tastier and more appetizing.
• When baking turkey cutlets in the oven, it is advisable to use a sauce that will give the products juiciness.
