Method

Transfer flour, eggs and bread crumbs to three separate wide, shallow dishes.

Working with one turkey cutlet at a time, season turkey all over with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.

Next, dip cutlet in egg-water mixture and let excess drip off.

Finally, dredge cutlet in bread crumbs and shake off excess.

Transfer cutlets to a plate as done.

Heat about 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

Add 2 cutlets and fry, turning once, until golden brown all over and just cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

Repeat process with remaining cutlets, adding more oil to skillet if needed.

Serve turkey cutlets warm, with lemon wedges on the side.
