Ingredients

• 4 pieces turkey breast cutlets
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Place the turkey breast cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to gently pound the cutlets to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the coating mixture.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined.

Step 4

Dip each turkey cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and then dredge it in the almond flour mixture. Press the coating onto the cutlets to adhere well.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the coated turkey cutlets in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the Low Carb Putenschnitzel hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
