Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 Eggs
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing each turkey breast cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound each cutlet to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 2

Season both sides of the turkey cutlets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk and eggs until well combined. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and paprika.

Step 4

Dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated, and shake off any excess.

Step 5

Next, dip the floured cutlet into the almond milk and egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 6

Finally, press the cutlet into the breadcrumbs, pressing down to ensure a good coating of crumbs all over.

Step 7

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded cutlets to the skillet.

Step 8

Cook the cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Once cooked through, transfer the schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the Dairy-Free Putenschnitzel immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
