Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 turkey breast cutlets. Dredge each first in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, shaking off excess, then dip into 1 beaten large egg, and finally coat evenly in 1 cup panko breadcrumbs.
Step 2: Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry breaded turkey cutlets for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through to 165°F internal temperature. Remove and keep warm.
Step 3: For the miso gravy, whisk together 2 tablespoons white miso paste, 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon mirin in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 4: Mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water to make a slurry, then whisk into the simmering gravy. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
Step 5: Serve turkey katsu topped with warm miso gravy alongside steamed rice or vegetables.
