Asparagus and Swiss Cheese Stuffed Turkey Cutlet Recipe
Asparagus and Swiss Cheese Stuffed Turkey Cutlets
Disclosure: I worked with Canadian Turkey to bring you this easy recipe that I created. This recipe, all pictures and words are my own. We just really love turkey over here!
Turkey is delicious any time of year!
Gone are the days when turkey was just to be served at Thanksgiving or Christmas! Now we can enjoy turkey at any time of year. While we do love a whole roasted turkey, we also enjoy turkey in burgers, soup, pot pie, lettuce wraps and casseroles. Yum. Now with Easter dinner and Mother’s Day just around the corner, I created this delicious dinner recipe for Asparagus and Swiss Cheese Stuffed Turkey Cutlets. Fresh spring asparagus paired with lean and delicious turkey, make these a perfect main course for any springtime special occasion!
How to make stuffed cutlets:
Don’t be afraid to make these! I know the idea of stuffed turkey cutlets may seem daunting, but I promise it’s not hard. Preparation takes less than 15 minutes, and can be made even easier if you buy pre-cut turkey cutlets. Once you have the cutlet, then it’s really just a matter of rolling them up with delicious ingredients inside. Let me show you.
I like to buy pre cut turkey cutlets from the grocery store that come tenderized and ready to use. Once you the cutlets are ready to go, lay them out on a cutting board and get them prepared for the next step. For these Asparagus and Swiss Cheese Stuffed Turkey Cutlets, I first seasoned them with salt and pepper, then placed Swiss cheese slices, and 3 asparagus spears on to each cutlet.
Then just gently roll them up and secure them with wooden toothpicks.
Now they’re ready for the next step! See, wasn’t that easy? Now roll the cutlets in a crushed cornflake mixture, season with seasoning salt, and drizzle generously with melted butter. Bake for about 40 minutes.
Crispy, buttery, delicious.
These cutlets then come out of the oven with a crispy, crunchy, flavourful crust, a tender turkey outer layer and a cheesy delicious centre! So good. You might have noticed that some of the cheese has melted out of the roll up, but don’t worry, it’s not as much as you might think, but make sure to scrape all these buttery cheesy bits off the bottom of the pan and eat them…it’s one of the best parts 😉 Yummmmmm
Stuffed Turkey Cutlet Recipe Tips
- TURKEY CUTLETS: You can purchase pre-made turkey cutlets from the grocery store (this is the easiest). Or if you wish, you can make your own by first cutting turkey breast in half horizontally, then gently pound the meat with a meat pounder to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- ASPARAGUS: Use fresh asparagus. If you don’t love asparagus you can substitute it with broccolini.
- CHEESE: This recipe is the best with Swiss Cheese, but honestly, you can substitute it with any of your favourite cheeses. Sliced cheese works best for rolling.
- CEREAL: Don’t have cornflakes? You can use bread crumbs instead.
- DOUBLE IT: This recipe is easily doubled.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve these Asparagus and Swiss Cheese Stuffed Turkey Cutlets with a side salad, oven roasted potatoes, and strawberry shortcake for dessert…the makings of a perfect spring dinner. Delicious.

Thank you Iva! It’s surprisingly very easy! I can’t wait to try some different flavour combinations.
Had this for dinner tonight! Yum. Thanks for the recipe. My husband actually asked if I bought it from the store or if I prepared it myself.
That is awesome Marla! I’m so happy you both liked it!
Loved this recipe! It was easy to make just follow the instructions and it was delicious! Dish looked elegant on the plate too. Will definitely make this often.
I’m so happy to hear that Michelle! It’s one of those recipes that looks so fancy, but is so easy to make!
Just made this but rolled them in ground almonds instead of the cornflakes to make it Keto friendly. Everyone loved it! Thanks so much for the recipe!
Oh great idea to use ground almonds! I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe!
I just made this for dinner tonight. Love this recipe! Very easy and delicious. I did substitute the Swiss cheese for my gluten-free Lactose free Parmesan cheese. I also rolled them in gluten-free bread crumbs because I didn’t have corn flakes. I served it with roasted red potatoes. I will certainly make this again. Thank you for the recipe!
I’m so happy to hear this!
