Place turkey breast cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/4 inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until smooth.

Step 5

Dip each turkey cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

Step 9

Fry each cutlet for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10
