Healthy, because
This lean schnitzel recipe is packed with nutrients; in addition to protein, it offers a wealth of vitamins from the B group, which are particularly important for nerves and muscles. Green asparagus also scores points with a good portion of folic acid, which is particularly important for pregnant and nursing women.
Even smarter
If you don't like turkey or want to prepare something else, you can also use veal cutlets.
