About Kalkkunaleike
Kalkkunaleike, or breaded turkey cutlet, is a popular dish originating from Finnish cuisine. It consists of tender turkey meat, flattened and coated in a crunchy breading mixture often made with breadcrumbs, flour, and spices, before being pan-fried or oven-baked to golden perfection. Turkey is a lean protein source, making this dish a healthier alternative to red meat options. It is rich in essential nutrients like B vitamins, zinc, and selenium, which support metabolism and immune function. Kalkkunaleike’s breading adds flavor and texture but also contributes to higher carbohydrate and fat content, depending on the cooking method and ingredients. Choosing whole-grain breadcrumbs and baking instead of frying can enhance its nutritional profile. Typically served alongside vegetables or potatoes, Kalkkunaleike offers a satisfying meal with a balance of protein and carbs, though mindful preparation is key for optimal health benefits.
