Ingredients
Lemon Turkey Schnitzel with Wild Rice
- Ingredients
- 3 ½ ozs Wild rice
- salt
- 10 ozs Green beans
- 1 large lemon
- 2 Turkey cutlets (about 4 oz each)
- peppers
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 ozs Vegetable broth
- 1 tsp brown sugar
Rinse wild rice mixture under cold water, then cook according to package directions in a pot of boiling salted water.
Meanwhile, rinse and trim green beans. Add to a pot of boiling salted water, cover and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes.
Rinse the lemon in hot water, wipe dry and cut in half. For the garnish, cut 2 slices lemon and set aside on a small plate. Squeeze juice from remaining lemon. Rinse turkey cutlets, pat dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan and brown the turkey cutlets on both sides, then cook over medium heat until cooked through, 3-4 minutes more on each side.
Remove from heat and place in a preheated oven at approximately 125°F (or lowest setting) to keep warm. Stir in lemon juice, broth, and sugar.
Remove pan from oven and heat over high heat until liquid is syrupy. Drain the rice and green beans, divide among plates with the cutlets and drizzle with lemon sauce. Garnish with lemon slices and serve.
