Place each turkey breast cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the cutlets to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well to create the flour mixture.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each cutlet first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off.
Next, dredge the cutlet in the flour mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated turkey cutlets in the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked Putenschnitzel to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for an added zesty flavor.
