Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 whole Lemon

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add the flour. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third dish, mix the breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Repeat for all cutlets.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.

Step 5

Fry the schnitzels in batches, cooking each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Add more oil if necessary between batches.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Serve immediately with wedges of lemon for squeezing over the top.
