This Oven Roasted Turkey Parmesan is a great comfort dinner. And it can be served along so many different sides.  Today we served it with Roasted Potatoes and Parmesan Topped Zucchini   It would be great over pasta or even served in a baguette sandwich with fresh arugula.  Oh the possibilities!

Note:  In the preparation and cooking times below I did not include cooking time for Marinara Sauce.  Keep this in mind if you are about to head off and make this.  I usually would have this made before and you could just as easily use store bought stuff that you like to make life easy.


Ingredients

  • Turkey – I used turkey fillets/cutlets that were about 1/2 inch thick
  • Dry ingredients – fine bread crumbs
  • Eggs and dariy – egg, mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese
  • Seasonings – oregano, basil, rosemary, salt, pepper, olive oil
  • Sauce – I used my Homemade Marinara Sauce, but you could use store bought.
  • Fresh – parsley

REMEMBER, The full recipe and instructions can be found at the end of the post in the recipe card.


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Drizzle the olive oil over the parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Make bread topping – On a large plate mix together the bread crumbs, oregano, basil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Coat the turkey – Dredge each turkey fillet in the beaten egg and then in the bread crumb mixture. Make sure you coat it completely. Repeat for all turkey fillets.
  4. Bake the turkey – Arrange on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, turn over each turkey fillet and bake for a further 5 minutes.
  5. Top with marinara and cheese – Remove from oven, spoon over the marinara sauce and top with fresh mozzarella cheese. Return to oven for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese completely melts. Remove from oven, top with fresh parsley and serve straight away.
