Make
-
Bring a large stock pot of water to boil. Salt generously and add potatoes. Cover and simmer until potatoes are starting to turn tender, about 15 minutes. Add green beans and continue cooking, uncovered, until both potatoes and green beans are very tender, 2 to 4 minutes (depending on the thickness of the beans). Drain.
-
While potatoes are cooking, coat turkey with prepared almond flour mixture (shake it to remove any excess or the coating will burn) and set on a plate.
-
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and then turkey to heated oil. Sear on both sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. (If the turkey won't easily fit in the pan without overlapping, sear it in batches.) Set turkey aside and cover to keep warm. Return pan to heat.
-
To hot pan add stock and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Simmer until liquid reduces to nearly the thickness of oil, 2 to 3 minutes (be patient with this step since reducing the liquid significantly is what will prevent the sauce from "breaking" when you add the sour cream). Remove the pan from the heat and give the liquid a stir to cool it down a bit. Whisk in sour cream mixture until smooth. Season with some salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over turkey cutlets.
-
Toss potatoes and green beans with butter and lemon zest. Season with some salt and pepper. Top with almonds.

Serve turkey with vegetables on the side. Enjoy!
