Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Avocado oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Place the turkey cutlets between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each turkey cutlet into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Press the coating onto the turkey to help it adhere.
Step 5
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Step 6
Cook the turkey cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Step 7
Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the schnitzels immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
