Method

  1. Grate the zucchini2 on a box grater and squeeze out excess moisture. Finely chop the onion3. Mix the turkey ground1 meat with egg, breadcrumbs, zucchini, onion, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  2. Shape the mixture into 2 cutlets about 2 cm thick, wetting your hands with water as needed.

  3. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the cutlets for 4 minutes per side until golden brown.

  4. Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook the cutlets another 6–7 minutes until no longer pink inside and the juices run clear.

  5. Meanwhile, in another skillet, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil, add the frozen vegetable mix without thawing, and simmer covered over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

  6. Serve the cutlets on a plate with the stewed vegetables, hot.

Tips

Why it works
Squeeze zucchini to remove moisture so the cutlets don’t steam and stay crispy instead of soggy. Over-moisture makes them fall apart when frying.
Substitutions
Use 80g grated carrot instead of zucchini for a sweeter taste, or swap frozen veg mix for 150g chopped bell peppers and peas.
Common mistakes
Cutlets stay pink inside if undercooked. Use a meat thermometer; overcrowding the pan lowers temperature and causes greasy steam.
Storing and reheating
Eat fresh or within 2 days; reheat in a dry pan over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side. Freeze cutlets only if breaded.
Serve with
Pair with a slice of whole-grain toast and a side of plain yogurt to balance the richness of the fried cutlets.
