This was a great recipe and I didn't give it an excellent because my family and I think it needs a sauce. I will make it again and will figure some type of gravy/sauce for it.

I've eaten a lot of breaded chicken/turkey dishes and by far this was one of the best. I bought turkey tenderloins because I couldn't find turkey cutlets and sauteed them in olive oil instead of canola. I'd make this again in a heartbeat.
