Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast fillets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Place each turkey breast fillet between two pieces of parchment paper. Use a meat mallet to gently pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until well combined.
Dip each turkey fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat both sides in the flour mixture. Ensure each fillet is fully covered.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough to create a sizzle.
Carefully place the coated turkey fillets into the skillet, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzels.
