Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 whole Lemon
Instructions
Place turkey cutlets on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound lightly with a meat tenderizer until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
Season both sides of the turkey cutlets with salt and black pepper.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded cutlets into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve with lemon wedges. Squeeze lemon juice over schnitzels just before eating for a fresh pop of flavor.
