Paleo Almond Crusted Turkey Cutlets make a fast and furious 20 minute dinner! Oven baked on a sheet pan with rosemary, this recipe makes juicy, tender cutlets with the perfect crunch! Paleo + Gluten Free + Low Calorie
I really hope you've been loving these easy, 20 minute sheet pan meals! They've been my go to meals this summer. Now that I'm cooking for two, I'm always trying to make weeknight dinners as easy as possible.
Before I started dating the guy, I could pretty much make one or two meals over the weekend and eat leftovers all week. Not so much anymore.
While he does cook, he doesn't plan. I've learned if I leave meals up to him, we're either eating tuna and salad or salmon. If I'm not there, he's eating pizza and God know whatever else. He truly flies by the seat of his pants.
That's probably why he needs to lose a few pounds. Oops! Don't tell him I said that. Exactly why you have to plan to lose weight!
These turkey cutlets are generously coated in almond flour. I love using almond flour to make fried recipe knock-offs like these Healthy Turkey Cutlets made with almond flour. Almond flour has a similar texture as fried foods, and when baked it gets a nice crispy, crunch!
To flavor the almond turkey cutlets, I added rosemary. It adds a burst of unexpected fragrance. I'm pretty sure rosemary isn't used enough in recipes except in winter. Why is that? It's sooooo good!!!
Speaking of good, these cutlets are tasty good for you. Going to whip up another batch tonight for dinner. They go perfect with almond crusted asparagus fries! Now, if only I could get the guy to eat that too.
P.S. This weekend there won't be a meal prep recipe on Saturday or Monday due to Labor Day!

What I Used For The Recipe
This was a hit with my kids. They all liked it, which is huge around here. With dairy and gluten dietary restrictions, it’s not easy finding meals that everyone enjoys. This will be added to our rotation of acceptable meals. Thank you!
These were delicious! The whole family including our kids loved these and we can never get them to eat healthy. haha
Hi could I use a whole egg instead off egg white ?
Yes, but keep in mind it will increase the calories and fat content.
Almond crusted or braised is basically the only way I like turkey. Crispy! YES PLEASE!
Haha do you think I could crust a whole turkey? Thanksgiving vibes!
These sound delicious! I love the smell of rosemary, you are right, it doesn't seem to get enough play during the summer.
Glad you agree!
This is such a great idea! I have a bunch of chicken I need to use that would be delicious with this coating too. I'm a rosemary junkie - love that you included it!
It would go great with chicken!
YUMMMMMMM!!! These look delicious, I've got some pork chops in the fridge I bet this would work with too!
I'm sure it would!
