Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
- 4 for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pound the turkey breast cutlets to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet. This ensures even cooking and tenderness.
Combine the whole wheat flour with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper on a shallow plate.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs together with the low-fat milk until well blended.
On a third plate, mix the plain breadcrumbs with lemon zest, the remaining salt, and the remaining black pepper.
Dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip them into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off before pressing them into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides thoroughly.
Lightly coat a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Add the turkey schnitzels to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook each schnitzel for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Low Fat Putenschnitzel immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzel as desired.
