Almond Crusted Turkey Breast with Orange Sauce (Truthahn Schnitzel)
The inspiration for this recipe came from a dish I had at a restaurant in Bavaria. My mom and I have been talking about recreating it since then. Of course, being that it was Bavaria, it was probably smothered in a cream sauce and we were not lactose-intolerant then. Things being as they are now, the challenge was to make a delicious dish with no dairy, lactose, or gluten. This is super easy!
