Italian Turkey Cutlet

These simple cutlets were a favorite for my clients, nice to have on hand in the freezer when you come home famished.

I am using a vegetable spray to keep down the calories, but you can surely fry them up in a olive oil to increase the richness.

You can freeze them, if you can keep them around long enough, they are a great snack.
