Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
• 1 cup Ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing baking sheet)
• 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained)
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 1 small Jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the ground flaxseed, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs with water until fully combined.

Step 4

Dip each turkey cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, press each cutlet into the flaxseed coating mixture, making sure both sides are evenly covered.

Step 5

Place the coated cutlets onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush the tops with a small amount of olive oil for extra crispiness.

Step 6

Bake the turkey cutlets in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

While the turkey cutlets are baking, prepare the black bean salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the black beans, diced cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, cumin, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 8

Remove the turkey cutlets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the flaxseed-coated turkey cutlets hot, topped with a generous portion of the black bean salsa. Enjoy!
