Turkey cutlets
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Turkey cutlets are less fatty than pork ones and much more tender than those made from beef or chicken breast. You can buy minced meat at the store, but it's best to prepare it at home. Not only hard cheese but also mozzarella, suluguni, or any other good melting cheese will work well. Green onions can be replaced with sautéed onion, and you can add your favorite spices to the meat mixture and filling. The finished dish is ready to serve.

Mix everything well and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then mix again and beat the meat mixture. To do this, gather the mixture in your hand, lift it above the bowl, and drop it back in. Repeat this 10–15 times. This will make the mixture more uniform and dense, helping the zrazy hold their shape.
