1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

3 slices whole wheat or white bread, torn into small pieces

Butterfly each piece by cutting horizontally into the chicken and opening it like a book.

Using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat pounder, lightly pound each piece between 2 sheets of waxed paper until about 1/4 inch thick.

Sprinkle on both sides with the salt-and-pepper and set aside.

Cooking Parmesan-Breaded Turkey Cutlets

In a large, heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Dredge a turkey cutlet in the flour and shake off excess.

Dip it in the egg, then in the breadcrumb mixture.

Repeat with remaining cutlets.

When the oil is hot, add two cutlets and cook until nicely browned on the first side, about 2 minutes.

Turn and cook until browned on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes longer.

Transfer to a platter and cover to keep warm.

Repeat to cook the remaining two cutlets, adding more oil to the pan if needed.

Served with the lemon wedges.

 

Cook's tip:

These crispy cutlets are made from turkey tenderloins. If tenders are not available, you can cut slices from a breast of Turkey. First remove the skin and carve the turkey off the bone. Cut 1/2 inch slices and pound them to make cutlets about 1/4 inch thickness.
