Step 1:
How to fry juicy turkey chops in a frying pan? First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can use a whole large fillet, which you need to cut into slices yourself, or buy already portioned chopped fillets, like mine. Take large, selected eggs. If the eggs are small, take 3 pieces.
Step 2:
Wash the turkey fillet, dry it with paper towels. Then cut into slices no more than 1 cm thick. Beat off each slice with a hammer, trying to preserve the integrity of the meat. Season the meat with salt and pepper on both sides. You can also sprinkle with your favorite spices to taste.
Step 3:
Grate the cheese on a fine grater. It is better not to use a large grater, since the cheese will roll off the chops, and we need it to stick well to the pieces of meat from all sides.
Step 4:
In a bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a fork. Pour in the grated cheese and mix.
Step 5:
Sift the flour into a plate through a sieve. This will saturate the flour with oxygen.
Step 6:
To make the grated cheese stick better to the chops, I advise you to first lightly roll the turkey in flour on all sides. According to personal observations, cheese sticks better to a rough, dry surface than to wetter meat.
Step 7:
Then dip in the beaten eggs from all sides, trying to keep the pieces of cheese on the chops.
Step 8:
And then again roll in flour more thoroughly, fixing the result.
Step 9:
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over high heat. Lay out the prepared chops and fry on both sides for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown. The exact frying time depends on the degree of heating of the pan and the thickness of your chops.
Step 10:
These chops will be served with a side dish of chopped fresh tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion and a mixture of salad leaves mixed with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 11:
Serve the finished chops immediately to the table hot with a side dish of fresh vegetables. Enjoy your meal!

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .

You can check whether the oil has warmed up well enough in a frying pan in a simple way. Lower a wooden spatula into it. If bubbles have gathered around it, then you can start the frying process.
