I wanted to make another comfort food dinner and found some turkey cutlets at the grocery store. This is such an easy dinner! I had everything else I wanted at home.
Ingredients
1 package of turkey cutlets
1/3 # fresh green beans, washed and cut
2 potatoes, skins on, washed and cut into wedges
Panko bread crumbs
Thyme
Onion powder
Flour
Paprika
Garlic powder
Salt and pepper
2 eggs
Vegetable oil
Hot salt mix (given to us by friends, but feel free to try Spike instead, or whatever seasonings you like!)
Butter
Start with the green beans and get them ready and in the steamer basket.

Next cut the potatoes into wedges and put them in a bowl of water to soak out the starch. Let this sit for a half hour. While this is soaking, get the items ready for the cutlets. Measure about a cup and a half of the panko and put it into a bowl. Add a couple of good shakes of onion powder, and three shakes of thyme leaves. Mix this together. Next, add to a ziplock bag a little bit less than one cup of flour. To this add some paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper then shake the bag. Then take two eggs and beat them really well.

Cutlets, flour bath, egg wash and panko are ready
The potatoes should be ready by now to prepare, so drain them and pat them dry. Then put them into a bowl and add a bit of oil and the hot salt seasoning, and a good shake of paprika. The oven – heat to 350 degrees. Lay the potatoes out on a silpat if you have one, or on a greased baking sheet.

Potatoes are seasoned, on the silpat and ready for the oven
Bake these for 30 minutes, and get the cutlets ready. First, take a cutlet and shake it in the flour bag. Then dip and turn a number of times in the egg. Follow this by dredging in the seasoned panko. Set the cutlet on a bread rack to dry. Repeat this with all the cutlets, and let them sit to dry.

Cutlets are breaded and need to sit to dry a bit
At this point the potatoes should be ready to turn. Do this and set the timer for another 30 minutes. At this point, if I have anything left to clean up I get it done now, and get my plates and silverware ready. 20 minutes before the potatoes are done, start to heat some butter in a large skillet and when it just starts to bubble, add the cutlets. Cook these over medium high heat.

Cutlets are cooking in butter
Five minutes into cooking the cutlets, turn on the heat to start the green beans steaming. After another five minutes, turn the cutlets.

Turn and continue to cook
The cutlets, green beans and potatoes should all be done at the same time!
Sit back and enjoy this dinner with a Grenache!

Dinner is served!
