Place the turkey cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs with the tablespoon of water. In the third dish, mix the breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well coated, and finally press it into the breadcrumb mixture, covering both sides completely. Place the breaded cutlets on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded cutlets in batches without overcrowding the pan.
Fry each cutlet for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and the turkey is cooked through.
Transfer the cooked schnitzel to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Slice the lemon into wedges.
Serve the Putenschnitzel hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top just before eating.
