Greetings turkey lovers!
I omitted the “Christmas” from my greetings because, although it is that time of year that I’m writing this, you may actually be reading this baked parmesan turkey escalopes recipe and planning it in the middle of June!
No matter what time of year it is, this dish is perfect.
Whatever time of year you put this baked parmesan turkey escalopes dish on the table it’s delicious!
Trust me, you won't be disappointed. 😉
I often choose to cook with turkey because it’s half the price of chicken, and I think it's often overlooked.
People seem to forget how versatile and tasty turkey can be.
I mean essentially turkey provides more or less the same nutritional benefits as chicken.
The main differences being turkey has a slightly lower protein content compared to chicken but it does have a lower fat content per gram too.
This makes turkey an extremely ideal lean and healthy choice for any meal!
Why Baked Parmesan Turkey Escalopes Make A Great Quick Healthy Meal

Happy Birthday to Lynne!!!
Neil - I confess, I am one of those who overlook Turkey and just get chicken - but I am gonna look in my grocers meet dept and see if turkey is cheaper than chicken over here in Atlanta too. As a single parent, am always looking for budget friendly meals - this sounds like a delicious addition to my rotation! Thanks so much! And good luck with the job hunt - looking forward to those photos...

Lynne says "thank you" ๐ Shashi
She feels she knows you closely because I rave about your recipes every time a new one is up! Only today I took a slice of your Chocolate Chip & Kabocha Breakfast Bar from my freezer to have with my morning coffee. Yum!! Only one left now though. Do I make more or do I make the Chocolate and Beet Cookies? Decisions, decisions โ
Glad you liked the recipe here! Hope you can get turkey cheaper than chicken like we can.
Onwards with the job hunt (thanks ๐ ) looking forward to York and picture snapping.
