Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Turkey breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the turkey breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with the milk. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Dredge each turkey breast in the flour, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Shake off any excess.

Step 4

Next, dip the floured turkey breasts into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 5

Finally, press the turkey breasts into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides completely. Gently press down so the breadcrumbs adhere well. Set aside on a plate.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded turkey breasts to the skillet.

Step 7

Cook the turkey breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Transfer the cooked turkey breasts to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the breaded turkey breasts hot with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing. Pair with your choice of vegetables, salad, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
