Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 whole Lemon
Directions
Step 1
Place turkey cutlets on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound lightly with a meat tenderizer until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Season both sides of the turkey cutlets with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded cutlets into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve with lemon wedges. Squeeze lemon juice over schnitzels just before eating for a fresh pop of flavor.
