Ingredients
- 6 slices of turkey breast
- 500 g new potatoes
- 1 green onion
- 1 green garlic
- 1 piece of smoked sausage (~10 cm)
- Olive oil
- 120 g sour cream
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 100 g grated cheese
- 50 g creamy goat cheese with herbs Delaco
- Salt
- Pepper
- Paprika

Preparation
1. Preparing the turkey schnitzel
Start by preparing the turkey breast. Use a meat mallet to lightly pound it so that it becomes thinner and cooks evenly. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, which will add warmth and intense flavor.

2. Frying the schnitzel
Heat a little olive oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add the turkey slices and fry them on both sides until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Once done, remove them and keep warm on a covered plate.

3. Preparing the potatoes
Peel the new potatoes and slice them thinly. In the same pan where you fried the schnitzel, add a bit more oil if necessary, and put the potatoes to fry. Fry them until golden and crispy, about 10-15 minutes.

4. Adding the vegetables
When the potatoes are almost fried, add the finely chopped green onion and green garlic, along with the smoked sausage cut into small pieces. Continue to cook everything together for another 5-7 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Assembling the gratin
Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat). In a heat-resistant dish, place an even layer of fried potatoes. On top, arrange the turkey schnitzels, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

6. Preparing the sauce
In a bowl, combine the sour cream with the milk, 50 g of grated cheese, and the goat cheese. Mix well, then season with salt, pepper, and, if desired, a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor. Pour the sauce evenly over the meat and potatoes.

7. Finalizing the gratin
Cover everything with the remaining grated cheese and place the dish in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the surface is golden and crispy.

8. Serving
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before portioning. You can serve this gratin as is or alongside a fresh salad for a pleasant contrast.

Practical tips
- Choosing ingredients: Use new potatoes for a finer and more delicate texture. Smoked sausages add intense flavor, but you can also opt for less smoked varieties if you prefer a milder taste.
- Variations: You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or feta, to change the flavor profile. You can also add vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for extra color and nutrients.
- Storing leftovers: If you have leftover gratin, you can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
