Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 4 for serving Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Start by patting the turkey breast cutlets dry with paper towels. This will help the breading adhere better.

Step 2

Season both sides of the turkey cutlets with salt and pepper, ensuring even coverage.

Step 3

Place the gluten-free flour in a shallow dish.

Step 4

In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs with the water until well combined.

Step 5

In a third shallow dish, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs with paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Step 6

Dredge each turkey cutlet first in the gluten-free flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the seasoned gluten-free breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the breaded turkey cutlets.

Step 8

Carefully place the breaded turkey cutlets into the skillet, cooking them in batches if necessary. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and the turkey is cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the gluten-free Putenschnitzel with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating.
