Pulykaszelet

Pulykaszelet refers to a cut of turkey meat, typically a breast fillet. This cut is prized for its lean protein content and relatively mild flavor, making it versatile in cooking. Pulykaszelet can be prepared in numerous ways, including pan-frying, baking, grilling, or as an ingredient in stews and stir-fries. It is often seasoned simply with salt and pepper, or marinated with herbs, spices, and other flavorings. Due to its lean nature, care must be taken during cooking to prevent it from becoming dry. Resting the meat after cooking helps to retain moisture. In many culinary traditions, pulykaszelet is a popular alternative to chicken breast or other lean meats, appreciated for its health benefits and adaptability to various cuisines. It can be found pre-cut in supermarkets or prepared from a whole turkey breast at home. The term is commonly used in Central European countries, particularly in Hungary.
