How to cook minced meat correctly so that the cutlets are juicy and tender
The classic recipe for cutlets to improve their juiciness involves adding bread, milk or cream to the minced meat. However, these ingredients can significantly increase calorie content, which is unacceptable in the case of a diet.
You can increase the juiciness and improve the consistency of minced meat by using the following products:
- Raw potatoes. Grated, it makes the cutlets soft and juicy.
- Onion. An essential component of any minced meat. It can be ground together with meat, finely chopped or grated.
- Zucchini and cabbage. They can be a good alternative to raw potatoes.
- Ice. Finely crushed ice is added inside each cutlet, after which the pieces are immediately fried or baked.
The correct cooking method will help preserve cutlet juice. To do this, you should not grind the meat in a meat grinder or blender, but finely chop it with a knife. Using breading will help retain the juice. Dietary recipes allow the use of ground bran for this.
Application
From minced turkey you can make cutlets, cabbage rolls, meatballs, casserole, soup with meatballs, dietary pasties, dumplings and other semi-finished products. Ground turkey also makes a very tasty pate - it has a dense texture and a sweetish taste. It is better to cook the minced meat at home, just before frying - this way it will retain its juiciness. You can add a little lard, mayonnaise and butter to homemade minced meat to remove dryness, because it is usually prepared from turkey breast. You can replace the fat in minced meat with black bread softened in warm milk. It is better not to use white bread. Be sure to add frying to the minced meat and roll raw vegetables along with the meat. In order for the cutlets to be soft and juicy, they are lightly fried and simmered for 40 minutes in a saucepan with a thick bottom. Sour cream, mayonnaise and cheese sauces go well with turkey. You can stew cutlets and meatballs on a baking sheet in the oven, after pouring sour cream and green onions. Housewives often replace ground pork and beef with ground turkey in recipes because it is less fatty.
