Cuisine: Mexican American
Serves: 4 cutlets
Ingredients
  • 4 Honeysuckle White turkey cutlets
  • 1 can whole green chiles
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 can green enchilada sauce
  • Cotija cheese -optional
Instructions
  1. Soak 16-20 toothpicks in water while preparing the turkey cutlets.
  2. Lay one turkey cutlet out between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound the cutlet out to about ¼" thickness. Repeat with all 4 cutlets.
  3. In the center of each flattened cutlet, place one whole green chile and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Fold the ends and sides of the cutlet into the middle so the filling is completely encased. Wrap the cutlet tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 20 minutes. Repeat for each cutlet.
  4. While the cutlets are chilling, preheat the grill to high heat. Add some olive oil on a paper towel and rub the oil on the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove the chilled cutlets from the refrigerator and the plastic wrap. Take the soaked toothpicks and push them through the cutlet to secure the sides and ends stay together. Use 4-5 toothpicks per cutlet.
  6. Place each cutlet on the hot grill and let it sear 3-4 minutes on high heat. Turn over and sear on high another 3-4 minutes.
  8. Turn the heat down to medium and let the turkey continue to cook until it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Turn the cutlets every few minutes.
  9. Remove from grill and serve with your favorite green enchilada sauce and sprinkle with cotija cheese or more shredded cheese.
