Fork tender turkey chops smothered in a creamy onion, garlic, and mushroom gravy!
So many of you have been asking me to upload turkey chop recipes for ages now. It’s not that I have been ignoring you, it’s that it was hard as heck to find turkey chops in my area! I searched high and low, and I simply could not find them! I finally just purchase a huge turkey breast from Krogers, and asked them to to cut it into chops. Why the heck didn’t I think of this before?! ANYWAY- Fast forward! I finally have a turkey chop recipe for you all. You can trust, and believe that this will not be the last one!
In this post I’m going to show you how to make the best turkey chops EVER!
We are going to smother these chops in a homemade turkey gravy made of turkey stock, butter, flour. We’re then going to load the gravy with onions, garlic, and mushroom. Sounds good doesn’t it? It tastes even better( and I’m not just saying this because I made it!). These turkey chops come out so tender and flavorful every single time. The are best served with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. I also like serving them with broccoli or asparagus.
Watch how I make these delicious turkey chops!

Thanks again Rosie. After searching relentless, I finally found the Turkey Chops in Shoprite and a Meat Store on Church Avenue & Flatbush, Brooklyn. I followed your recipe – all ingreds. Wish I could send you a photo. My husband killed it- only left me 1 chop. Next time I will make sure I have more than 4chops. Definately will be making this part of my Thanksgiving menu.

This was my first time making Turkey chops. My neighbor told me they where better then pork chops so she had given me a few. I didn’t know how to prepare them and found your recipe. They turned out amazing. Thank you!
Thanks. Rosie. Great turkey chops. I precook for the next day. But taste testing its great. Thanks for your posting.
Hi Christine! I’m glad that you like the recipe!
I’m making this right now, can’t wait to see how it comes out!
Hi Rose haven’t had chops in many years. I stumbled across turkey chops and wasn’t sure how to prepare them. I love muchrooms and gravy. Perfect combination! Thanks for idea
Glad that you like my recipe!
I had to use pork chops because i couldn’t find turkey chops in the store…. i think the 1 hour 15 mins was excessive for my pork chops lol they are tough… but the gravy is delicious.
I will try the recipe again for sure, but cook for lesser time and/or monitor it better.
I actually have a smothered pork chop recipe uploaded LOL. Try it the next time around 🙂
I have used this recipe a lot! LOL I have also used it for chicken breast as well!
Glad that you like the recipe!
Girl!!!!!!!!! I will never look at turkey chops the same way again. My husband ate so fast and I could swear I may have heard him growl while he was eating. Lol These are so flavorful and had the house smelling so good I almost couldn’t wait for them to be done. You definitely did your thang! Mmmmmm mmmmm!
Hi Deb! I’m glad that you liked the recipe! XOXO
Made this dish, my only addition was fresh ginger. Served it over white rice . Very good! Thanks for sharing!
My five year old wanted something different for dinner. She decided in turkey and gravy lol. I’m so thankful we came across this page. Not only did my five year old help and love it – my older kids enjoyed it too! It’s always good to get their compliments on meals!!
Much obliged.
I’m glad that you found my blog 🙂
Hi Rosie,
I’m so glad I came across your blog. When I bought some turkey chops before my husband put them on the grill and they were really dry. I wanted to know how to cook them to get the full flavor and I came across your blog. They were delicious. I only cooked them maybe an hour and 15 min. The meat was falling off the bone. My daughter is very picky and she loved them. Thanks so much for the recipe!!

Thanks for trying my recipe!
Tell me a man he can’t cook. Thanks to you the cops came out five Star.
Is it necessary to use half and half? If not, what can I use instead of?
For best results, stick to the recipe listed 🙂
Hubby and stepson loved it! Now has become one of my staple recipes! After making this the second time around, I halfed the broth to 2 cups and it was still enough for 8 turkey chops. I opted for chicken broth which still came out nicely!
Glad that you liked the recipe!
Never made gravy before and I forgot the half and half (although it’s on the ingredient list, it’s not in the recipe) but it still came out good!
Rosie, I stumbled upon your turkey chop recipe…WHAT A FIND!! Thank you! We absolutely loved the chops! Looks like it will be a repeat for us!
So glad that you found my recipe!
I came across your delicious recipe for Turkey chops and me and my family are hooked! I wanted to make sure that I left a comment Thanking you for sharing this scrumptious recipe. My husband has requested that this become a weekly dinner item.
Thank you again!

Hi Rosie
I saw some shady brook farms turkey breast chops in the store, they were marinated with up to 12% turkey stock and salt. Can I use these chops in your recipe.
Yes, you can use those 🙂
Hi Rosie!
Every recipe that I’ve tried of yours has been delicious! And this is one of those recipes! I will be trying a different chicken stock or maybe a beef stock next time for this dish. YOU ARE AN AWESOME SAUCY chef!
Success! Just made this for the first time and my 2 year old and 7 year old ‘picky’ eaters finished their plates and asked for more! It was amazing! Had to substitute milk for half and half but he gravy was still amazing! Thanks! Had mine with rice and French style green beans…
Rosie, you have a new fan!!!! These were delicious!!!!! Just got acquainted with turkey chops and was looking for ideas. Love, love this recipe. I did add some sherry to the gravy, I was trying to use up some from another recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
They were very tender… I will definitely make this again
This recipe was fire. I did double season the flour and meat and it came out perfect. Everyone killed it.
Great recipe! Made it tonight and have made it several times. Delicious!
I’ve never had turkey chops before so I looked up a recipe how to cook them and now I can’t wait to taste them.
Smothered turkey chops
Followed recipe as printed, the food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed the meal. This recipe will be used again.
These are a really good way to cook turkey breasts too ! I used coconut milk instead of half and half and added Creole seasoning. Turned out great! A++++! Will definitely do again! Thanks!
Question: Do you put the poultry seasoning in the flour or rub directly on the meat? The printed recipe doesn’t show when to use it.
Yes, directly on the chops will be fine.
Rosie this is the best smothered turkey chop recipe! We substitute mushrooms for sautéed peppers and onions but love the original recipe for mushroom lovers.
This was a hit in my family! Thank you! Looking forward to trying other recipes from you❤️
Taste great…
Love ot
