EASY TURKEY SCHNITZEL
Our family lived in Europe for 11 years and this was by far our two sons' all-time favorite recipe. Typically in Germany and Austria, schnitzel is served with french fries and lemon wedges for squeezing onto the breaded cutlets. In Europe I used veal, but now that we are back home, I find that turkey slices are a fine substitute. -Sue Jurack, Mequon, Wisconsin

Tips:
- Choose boneless, skinless turkey cutlets that are about 1/4 inch thick. If you can't find turkey cutlets, you can also use boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- To make the schnitzel extra crispy, dredge it in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs twice. This will create a thick, crunchy coating.
- Use a large skillet to cook the schnitzel so that it has plenty of room to spread out. This will help it cook evenly.
- Cook the schnitzel over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning.
- Serve the schnitzel hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
