Directions
Place flour in a shallow dish or plate.
Combine egg, milk, salt and pepper in another shallow dish or plate.
Place bread crumbs in a third shallow dish or plate.
Dredge cutlets in flour and shake off the excess.
Proceed to the next plate and cover with beaten egg mixture.
Proceed to the last plate with bread crumbs and coat turkey, pressing lightly.
When all four cutlets are prepared, heat pan to medium high and sauté two cutlets at a time in olive oil for 2-3 minutes each side.

With lots of acidity in this recipe from the tomato sauce, it requires a beer with a gentle amount of bitterness. Also, a little bit of richness in the mozzarella needs to be cut by the lager. However, we may need only a lighter beer to not overpower the cutlets.
