Place the black peppercorns in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and coarsely crush them.
Season the turkey or chicken cutlets with salt on both sides.
Create a dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg combined with milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with the crushed black pepper.
Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
Cook the cutlets in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the chutney, chicken stock, and lemon juice. Stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve the cutlets drizzled with the chutney sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
