How To Make Crock Pot Turkey Cutlets

3. Layer the turkey cutlets: Place the turkey cutlets in a single layer on top of the stuffing mixture.
4. Season and add toppings: Season the turkey with salt and pepper. Spoon apple pie filling over the top, if using.

Recipe Tips

• How to tell when turkey is done:
  Check with an instant-read thermometer. Turkey should reach 165°F internally.
• How to crisp up soggy stuffing:
  Transfer stuffing to a greased baking pan and bake at 400°F for 25–30 minutes until golden.
• Can I make my own stuffing cubes?
  Yes! Use stale or day-old bread cut into cubes for a homemade option.
• Can I skip the apple pie filling?
  Absolutely. It adds a sweet element, but the dish works well without it.
• Can I use chicken instead of turkey?
  Yes, chicken cutlets are a great substitute if turkey isn’t available.
