This gluten free turkey cordon bleu is delicious for dinner with a salad and veggies. But I also can picture serving this on toothpicks as an hors d’oeuvre at a party. Enjoy!

Cordon bleu means blue ribbon in French. My light version of gluten free turkey cordon bleu is baked rather than fried.

Then I slice each roulade to reveal spirals of moist breaded turkey, melted cheese and ribbons of sweet ham.

Okay. Ready to make easy cordon bleu? Let’s go.

Ingredients

Today I have turkey cutlets, but you can go with chicken, veal or pork if you prefer.

Cordon bleu sounds fancy, but the remaining ingredients are simple.

Spread

Dijon mustard – adds zesty warm flavor to the dish

Herbs and spices

Thyme – fresh is lovely if you have it on hand or go with dried
Seasoned salt – Seasoned salt can contain paprika, turmeric, onion, garlic, and sugar. You can go with seasoned salt or any combination of spices you prefer

Delicious filling

Ham – sliced from the deli, Boar’s Head is gluten free
Swiss cheese – other hard cheeses like cheddar or provolone would also work

Coating

Butter – helps the breadcrumbs mixture to stick to the turkey
Gluten free panko breadcrumbs – I have Aleia’s panko for extra crunch. Schar’s or Ian’s plain or Italian-seasoned would also work
Parmesan cheese – grated and tossed with the breadcrumbs

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

Melt your butter and set aside in a small bowl.

Combine your bread crumbs and rich flavorful parmesan cheese in another dish.

Now spread mustard evenly down the center of each cutlet. Season each with seasoned salt and thyme.

Pro tip:

Then fold each slice of Swiss cheese inside a slice of ham so that the cheese won’t melt out into the dish while baking.

Layer each on top of the mustard-coated meat.

Roll up, jelly-roll style.

Then carefully roll in the melted butter and then roll in the bread crumb mixture for a crispy golden crust.

Place in a baking dish seam side down and pop in your preheated oven for about thirty-five minutes.

Serving suggestions

Slice each roulade to reveal spirals of moist breaded turkey, gooey creamy cheese and ribbons of sweet ham. Top with quick easy Velvety Smooth Gluten Free Homemade Gravy. Make it with cream for a traditional cream sauce! Serve mashed potatoes, rice, or gluten free noodles on the side.

Then choose a veggie (or two!) from my complete collection of vegetables and salads. For example, Sautéed Broccoli With Garlic for a nutritious side or Bacon Brussels Sprouts: Restaurant Style Recipe for a savory twist.

And don’t forget the crusty Gluten Free Quick Garlic Bread for mopping up the sauce.

Complete your meal with a sweet treat from my tasty gluten-free dessert collection. Consider this Gluten Free Clafoutis Recipe a cozy, rustic French dessert and perhaps a Cranberry Sangria Recipe.

Pro tips and recipe notes

I recommend pounding each turkey cutlet with a meat tenderizer because this cut can have a tendency to be a little tough. However, a few whacks with the mallet softens the fibers of the turkey, and it will turn out nice and tender.
Leftover cooked turkey can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days according to the USDA. To maintain its quality, place it in an airtight container.

Who can resist? This dish is easily a first prize winning meal.

Happy cooking!
