Cutlets are boneless cuts of meat or poultry that have been sliced very thin or that have been pounded very thin. Cutlets are sometimes referred to as paillards.
Miscellaneous Products

Cutlets are thin boneless pieces of meat that weigh 4 ounces or less and are taken from tender cuts, such as the tenderloin and loin.
Miscellaneous Turkey Products
Boneless Turkey Roast, Whole
Whole turkeys are available that have been deboned and packaged. A netting is usually placed around the turkey before it is packaged to help hold the shape.
Pounding
Pounding of meat is performed for various purposes. Meat is pounded to tenderize, to even out the thickness of some cuts so that they cook more evenly, and to form cutlets.
Dredging is a process in which foods are pulled through dry ingredients, such as flour, in order to coat the food before cooking. Flour can be used alone as a coating, but it is more often combined with other dry ingredients such as herbs, spices, salt, or breadcrumbs to create a seasoned coating on the food that becomes brown and crispy after it is cooked.
There are an unlimited number of chicken products available, consisting of fresh, frozen, uncooked, fully cooked, and many heat-n-serve products. Many products are available unbreaded, breaded, seasoned, or marinated.
Sautéing is a dry heat cooking method that quickly cooks the pork using a little oil and high heat. The types of pork best suited for sautéing are the more tender lean cuts, such as loin chops, tenderloin medallions, cutlets, and ground patties.
Turkey Parts
Turkey is often cut into parts, packaged, and sold fresh or frozen. Turkey breasts, drumsticks, thighs, and wings can be sold this way. The breast section of a turkey is quite large and it is often cut into smaller cutlets that are thinly sliced.
Sautéing is a cooking process using high heat that quickly browns and sears food in a small quantity of oil in a skillet. It is actually the same process as searing except that sautéing completely cooks the meat and searing is simply a means to brown the meat so that the cooking process can be completed with another method.

Differences between Broiling and Grilling
Broiling is a cooking method in which food is cooked with a high heat source.
Pork is the meat from the carcass of a pig. The carcass is generally split into two sides of pork, each consisting of four primal cuts. Each primal consists of subprimal cuts that are divided into several specific market ready cuts.
Grilling is a cooking method that uses a dry heat that quickly cooks the surface and then slowly moves to the middle of the meat. When grilled properly, the meat will have a crisp flavorful outside coating with a moist center. Grilling infuses the pork with a smoky flavor from the meat juices that drip during the grilling process.
The required cooking temperature and the method for grilling turkey depend on the thickness of the turkey meat and whether or not the skin is removed. Grilling turkey parts or slices would be done using direct heat. Grilling a whole turkey would be done using indirect heat.
