Almond Crusted Turkey Breast with Orange Sauce (Truthahn Schnitzel)

  1. For the orange sauce: Heat olive oil and margarine in a medium saucepan.
  2. Saute shallot and white parts of the green onion until soft and beginning to brown.
  3. Add rosemary, thyme and sage.
  4. Continue to saute until spices are very fragrant.
  5. Add tops of the green onion and saute a few more minutes.
  6. Add sherry.
  7. Cook at a fast simmer until sherry is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  8. Add the honey, orange zest, orange juice and chicken stock.
  9. Again, cook until reduced by at least half, about 10 minutes.
  10. (Sauce can be made ahead to this point.
  11. Refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  12. Reheat to a simmer then continue with recipe.)
  13. When reduced, whisk the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry.
  14. Whisk into orange sauce.
  15. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for about 5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  16. For the turkey breast: Slice the turkey breast, slicing horizontally into the thick, long side of the breast.
  17. Using a mallet, pound the turkey to about 1/4 thick.
  18. Cut tenderloins out of the breast.
  19. Then cut the rest of the breast into about 6 more pieces (depending on the size of the turkey).
  20. For breading, mix together ground almonds, gluten-free flour, salt, pepper, and spices.
  21. Set up a dredging station with almond milk in one bowl, eggs in a second bowl and prepared breading in the third.
  22. Dredge each piece of breast in in the order above: milk, eggs, then breading.
  23. Place on a plate.
  24. Heat oven to 300 degrees F.
  25. When all the turkey pieces are breaded, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy bottom frying pan, until very hot.
  26. Fry turkey until nicely browned.
  27. Place on a baking sheet and move to the oven to keep warm.
  28. When all the turkey pieces are browned, check internal temperature with a digital thermometer.
  29. Internal temperature should be 165 degrees F. If not up to temperature, increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F and check internal temperature every few minutes until cooked through.
  30. Be careful not to overcook!
  31. Slice the turkey across the grain.
  32. Serve with orange sauce.
  33. Note: I use as little salt in my recipes as I possibly can.
  34. If you like a lot of salt, increase amount of salt by approximately 1/3.
