If your turkey breast is thick slice in half,place on a board cover with cling film and bash with a rolling pin until very thin.You need two flat bowls,one bowl with the beaten egg and the other with the flour and spices.Place your turkey slice into the egg making sure it is coated then place into the flour shake of the excess and place into a medium hot frying pan.They will not take long to cook probably about 5-6 minutes, take of and put onto kitchen paper to drain.Let the turkey slice go cold.

Make your salad on a large plate and add your turkey slices on top.
