4 Between the sheets of waxed paper, put the turkey pieces.
5 Gently pound each piece to an inch-thick cutlet, using a meat mallet or side of a heavy saucer.
6 On the waxed paper, put some flour and use to coat the cutlets evenly.
7 In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil.
8 Saute 4 cutlets at a time, on medium heat until lightly browned on both sides.
9 Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.
10 Repeat with the remaining cutlets, adding the remaining butter and oil.
11 Pour off the fat , reserving about 1 teaspoon from the skillet.
12 In the skillet, saute shallot, stirring, for about 30 seconds.
13 Add in the chicken broth, wine, cream, curry powder and pepper.
