Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces turkey breast fillets
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup oat flour
- 4 large egg whites
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bottle olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place each turkey breast fillet between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the fillets to about 1/2-inch thickness.
In a shallow dish, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, oat flour, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, lightly beat the egg whites.
Dredge each turkey fillet in the egg whites, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.
Place the breaded fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top of each fillet with olive oil spray to encourage even browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip each fillet over, spray the other side with olive oil spray, and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the breading is golden and the turkey is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the High Protein Putenschnitzel with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a nutritious and balanced meal.
