Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 medium green pepper, coarsely chopped
1 celery rib, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil
3 medium tomatoes
TURKEY:
1 large egg
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 package (20 ounces) turkey breast tenderloins
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
Additional fresh basil

Directions

Whisk together first five ingredients. Stir in green pepper, celery, onion and basil. Cut tomatoes into wedges; cut wedges in half. Stir into pepper mixture.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg and lemon juice. In another shallow bowl, toss bread crumbs with cheese, walnuts and lemon pepper.
Cut tenderloins crosswise into 1-in. slices; flatten slices with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dip in egg mixture, then in crumb mixture, patting to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add a third of the turkey; cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat twice with remaining oil and turkey. Serve with tomato mixture; sprinkle with basil.

Health Tip: At just 13 grams carbohydrates per serving, this is a hearty option for anyone looking to cut carbs.

Editor's Note

To make soft bread crumbs, tear bread into pieces and place in a food processor or blender. Cover and pulse until crumbs form. One slice of bread yields 1/2 to 3/4 cup crumbs.

Thanks! It's very helpful. I stress on the point that when on a new diet, a daily plan is very important Without it it’s too easy to fall for peer pressure, to be unprepared and to make bad decisions. I was one among those people who had knowledge about what to eat and what not to, but didn't have a daily plan to carry me through that critical first month until I came across something called as 28-Day Keto challenge. It's more than a plan, a challenge which guided me every step of my way. Their guidance helped me a lot and now I feel a sense of accomplishment. I notice my skin and hair improve and even can sleep better now. I lost a lot of weight too and I now have that energy which I haven't felt in years. I very strongly recommend you this.
