Ingredients

• 4 pieces turkey breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 units egg whites
• 50 grams whey protein isolate (unflavored)
• 50 grams almond flour
• 30 grams parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by flattening the turkey breast pieces to about 1/3 inch thickness using a meat mallet and place them in a shallow dish.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the turkey breasts and ensure each piece is well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the turkey is marinating, in a bowl, beat the egg whites until slightly frothy.

Step 5

In another shallow bowl, mix together the whey protein isolate, almond flour, and grated parmesan cheese.

Step 6

After marinating, dip each turkey piece first into the egg whites to coat all sides, then dredge it in the protein-almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Add the coated turkey escalopes to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the cooked escalopes from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the high-protein escalopes immediately, garnished with extra fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
