Make Thanksgiving easy but full of flavour!

Turkey Schnitzel

1 turkey breast (for 3-4 servings) (available at Millad’s)

~1 cup Corn Flakes crumbs or Panko or combination

½ tsp grated nutmeg

smoked paprika (optional) (available at Millad’s)

salt and pepper

1-2 eggs

½ cup milk

2-3 tbs butter

drizzle olive oil

Cut the turkey breast into even slices across the grain, cover with wax paper or plastic wrap and pound flat without shredding the meat.

Mix egg and milk in one bowl and crumbs and seasonings in another bowl. 

Dip pounded meat into egg/milk wash and then cover in crumbs.  Sauté in medium-high heat pan with butter and olive oil. 

Serve immediately with your favourite toppings, cranberry sauce, chutney or try a tomato coulis.

Enjoy!
