Ingredients

• 300g turkey breast, thinly sliced and pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup kimchi, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise (sugar-free)
• 1/2 tsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder, optional)

• 2 tbsp rice vinegar (sugar-free)

Instructions

1. Prep: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Prepare two shallow dishes: one with almond flour seasoned with salt and pepper, and another with the beaten egg.
2. Schnitzel: Dip each turkey slice first in the egg, then coat thoroughly with almond flour. Lightly spray both sides of the schnitzel with olive oil.
3. Air Fry: Place schnitzel in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Kimchi Mayo: In a small bowl, combine chopped kimchi, mayonnaise, and gochugaru (if using). Mix well.
5. Cucumber Salad: In another bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sweetener. Add the sliced cucumber and toss to coat.
6. Serve: Arrange the crispy turkey schnitzel on plates, dollop with kimchi mayo, and serve with the refreshing cucumber salad on the side.
