Ingredients

2 cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons mustard

1 clove garlic (sliced thin)
1 1⁄2 pounds turkey (turkey breas cutlets)
3⁄4 cup bread crumbs

  cooking oil (cooking spray, for frying)

Instructions

  1. Combine the buttermilk, Worcestershire, mustard, and cayenne in a shallow baking dish.

  10. Wipe out the skillet and repeat with more spray and the remaining turkey.
  11. Serve hot, spooning gravy over the top if using.
