Preparation time: 20 minutes
Marinating time: 2-4 hours
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total: 2-4 hours and 35 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 1 kg turkey breast
- 100 ml yogurt (Greek yogurt is ideal for a creamier texture)
- 2 tablespoons mustard (Dijon mustard for a more refined taste)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon grated horseradish (adjust the amount to your liking)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the batter:
- 150 g all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs (make sure they are fresh)
- Milk (about 100-150 ml, depending on the desired consistency)
- Salt, to taste
- Oil for frying (sunflower oil is a good choice, but you can also use olive oil)

Recipe Preparation:

1. Rinse the turkey breast under cold running water and pat it dry carefully. Then, use a sharp knife to slice the breast into very thin pieces. These will cook evenly and will be more tender.

2. In a large bowl, mix the yogurt with the mustard, olive oil, horseradish, salt, and pepper. This is your chance to add a bit of personality to the mixture, so feel free to make adjustments to suit your taste. You can also add crushed garlic for an extra flavor boost.

3. Add the turkey slices to the yogurt marinade, ensuring they are completely covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-4 hours. During this time, the meat will absorb all the flavors, becoming tender and juicy.

4. Once the meat has marinated, prepare the batter. In another bowl, combine the flour with the eggs, milk, and salt. Mix well until you achieve a consistency similar to thin sour cream. If the batter is too thick, add a little milk to thin it out.

5. In a deep frying pan, pour in the oil for frying and heat it over medium heat. The oil is ready when a drop of water sizzles upon contact.

6. Take each slice of turkey, coat it in all-purpose flour, then dip it in the batter, and carefully place it in the frying pan. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow each slice to fry evenly.

7. Once the schnitzels are ready, remove them to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. They are delicious both hot and cold, making them perfect for a snack or a quick lunch.
