Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast slices
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Begin by tenderizing the turkey breast slices. Place each slice between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they reach a uniform thickness of about 1/4 inch.
In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Place the turkey slices in the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the turkey marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare a three-stage breading setup: place almond flour in one shallow dish, unsweetened almond milk in a second dish, and beat the egg in a third shallow dish.
Remove turkey slices from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, then dip each piece first in almond flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in almond flour again to ensure a good coat.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the remaining olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded turkey escalopes into the skillet. Cook the escalopes for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Transfer the cooked escalopes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Sugar-Free Escalope de Dinde hot with a wedge of lemon or a garnish of fresh herbs, if desired.
