Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.75 cup Pork rinds (finely crushed)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Avocado oil (or another high-heat oil)
- 4 pieces Fresh lemon wedges (for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place each turkey cutlet between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound gently with a meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, crushed pork rinds, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the coating mixture.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until fully combined.
Dredge each turkey cutlet in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Press gently to ensure an even coating.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add 2 coated turkey cutlets to the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove the cooked schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining turkey cutlets, adding the remaining 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the turkey schnitzels immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
