1 teaspoon Onion Powder

Instructions

For the Cutlets

Season each turkey cutlet with salt, onion powder, paprika, and pepper.

Season the with the dried thyme leaves. Then begin adding in the cutlets with juice into the skillet. Cover with gravy and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the turkey breast cutlets with a generous ladle of the savory gravy.

Notes

Don't Overcook - You don't want to cook the turkey cutlets all the way through in the first steps. Since the cutlets will cook a little longer in the gravy you will want to just under cook it so they can finish cooking in the gravy.
Vegetables - Feel free to add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions to the gravy for extra flavor and texture.
Seasonings - Enhance the flavor by experimenting with your preferred seasonings and herbs, such as rosemary, sage, or even lemon zest.
