Preparation Time10 min

Cooking Time15 min

Cooking MethodSkillet

Cooking Vessel Size14-inch skillet

Ingredients

1 pounds thinly sliced turkey breast cutlets
1 cups almond flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs
olive oil
2 lemons

Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or sauté pan.
Beat the eggs in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a second mixing bowl.
Dip each piece of turkey in the eggs and then coat with the flour mixture.
Place the turkey pieces in the hot oil in a single layer and cook for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. You will have to work in two batches. I think it's easier to work with 2 large skillets.
As the turkey comes out of the oil, place it on a paper towel-lined plate.
Squeeze the juice of half of a lemon over the hot cutlets and season with a little salt and pepper.
