Directions

Grab your favorite kitchen knife (make sure it’s clean and properly sharpened). Cut the turkey breast into manageable chunks, about two to three inches.
Using a meat mallet, thin the chunks out. For the best results, place the meat between two sheets of plastic wrap before pounding.
Coat the flattened breasts with olive oil and sprinkle on your seasoning, then massage it into the meat. Cover the breasts evenly for consistent flavor throughout your wild turkey schnitzel.
Coat the meat in breadcrumbs, achieving the best coverage possible. If breadcrumbs aren’t available, use smashed crackers.
Cover the bottom of a pan with oil and set the heat to high. The proper oil temperature is crucial for perfect wild turkey schnitzel.
Once the oil is hot, place the breaded turkey into the pan, frying it to a golden brown. This takes about three to five minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
After frying, let the breasts rest on a paper towel-lined plate for a few minutes to absorb excess oil. Then, eat with your tangy sauce.

Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Serve alongside your wild turkey schnitzel for a kickass flavor complement.
