Light Turkey Schnitzel

Reprinted with permission from Jennie-O Turkey Store

Ingredients:
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup skim milk
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Butter flavored cooking spray
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 package JENNIE-O TURKEY STOREĀ® Turkey Breast Cutlets
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (optional)
1/4 cup chicken or beef broth (optional)

Directions
Heat oven to 200 degrees. In a shallow dish or pie plate beat together egg whites and milk with a fork. Add 2 tablespoons flour, cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg; mix well. Coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray; add 1 teaspoon butter and place over medium heat until butter sizzles. Place remaining 3 tablespoons flour in plastic bag. Add 2 turkey slices at a time to bag; shake to coat. Dip into milk mixture, turning to coat and letting excess mixture drip off. Add turkey to skillet; cook about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown and no longer pink in center. Transfer to a heat-proof serving platter; keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining turkey and butter. If desired, after all turkey is cooked, add lemon juice and broth to skillet; boil 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour over turkey. Makes 4 servings.
