Turkey Schnitzel with Cheese-Ham Filling served with Lamb's Lettuce

Ingredients

• 4 turkey schnitzels (160-180 g each)
• Salt
• black pepper (freshly ground)
• 4 slices of cooked ham
• 4 slices of cheese (e.g., Gouda)
• flour (for coating)
• 2 Eggs
• 150 g breadcrumbs
• 40 g clarified butter
• oil for baking sheet
• 250 g lamb's lettuce
• 1 onion
• 150 g bacon strips
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tbsp dark balsamic vinegar

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 140°C (Oven + fan). Pat the turkey schnitzels dry, lightly pound them, season with salt and pepper. Place one slice of ham and one slice of cheese on each schnitzel, fold over, and secure with a wooden skewer. Dredge the schnitzels first in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs, pressing the coating firmly onto the surface.

2. 2.

   In a skillet melt the clarified butter and brown the schnitzels on both sides until golden. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through. While the schnitzels finish, rinse and dry the lamb's lettuce, then finely dice the onion.

3. 3.

   In another pan fry the bacon strips until crisp, add the diced onions and sauté briefly. Season with pepper and balsamic vinegar, remove from heat, and let cool slightly. Toss this mixture into the lettuce and serve in small bowls alongside the schnitzels.
