Season the turkey cutlets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it evenly with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded cutlets and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Transfer cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer the sauce for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the fried turkey cutlets to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over them. Let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
