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.
Season the cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese.
In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Dip each turkey cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Dredge the cutlets in the almond flour and Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres well.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is bubbling.
Carefully add the cutlets to the skillet without overcrowding (cook in batches if necessary).
Fry each cutlet for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Keto Putenschnitzel hot, garnished with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
