Preparation

  1. Serving size:
    7.20 oz (calculated)
    Notes: 1 turkey cordon bleu (4 oz or 113 g of raw turkey)
  1. Wash and pat dry the meat. We use thin, skinless cutlets (turkey schnitzel). If you prefer, you can also use chicken, pork or veal.
  2. Season the meat with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter together with the oil. If working in batches, divide the oil accordingly, adding some more before cooking the next batch.
  4. Cook the turkey until almost done, about 2 minutes on each side. Set aside.
  5. In a bowl, mix together the chicken broth, lemon juice and Dijon Mustard.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium and add the seasoned chicken broth to the pan.
  7. Release the caramelization from the pan.
  8. Sprinkle in the xanthan gum, whisking throughout.
  9. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  10. Season to taste.
  11. Return the cooked meat to the pan and top it with slices of ham and then cheese.
  12. Cover the pan with a lid and let simmer until the cheese has nicely melted, about 5 minutes.
  13. Serve each turkey cordon bleu topped with some sauce and garnished with some fresh, chopped parsley.
