Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 4 turkey schnitzels
  • 5 tsp pesto, red
  • 4 tsp Parmesan, coarsely grated
  • 4 slices of Parma ham
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Wash and flatten the schnitzel. Brush the schnitzel with pesto, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of Parmesan cheese, and top with a slice of ham. Fold the schnitzel over and secure the edges with toothpicks. Heat oil in a pan and fry the schnitzel for 3-4 minutes on each side. Loosen the pan juices with the orange juice and drizzle over the schnitzel. We like to serve this with roasted potatoes.
