I made this for dinner tonight to accompany spaetzel. My family (and I of course) devoured it, scraping every last lick of the sauce off the plate. I did change up the recipe a bit. I used very thin cut turkey cutlets instead of pork (simply because it's all I had), substituted heavy cream for sour cream (due to DH's food aversion) and omitted the dill (another of DH's aversions). The "turkey" schnitzel turned out moist, tender, crispy on the outside and seasoned just right. And the sauce--oh the decadent, velvety sauce--was wonderful over the schnitzel as well as the spaetzel. It was truly a rich and flavorful German Sunday dinner. Thanks for sharing this recipe! Yum!

Hey Chippy! Thanks so much for posting this recipe. The store didn't have pork cutlets so I used boneless thin pork chops, no salt chicken broth and corn flake crumbs since I was out of bread crumbs. A winner that I'll be making again soon.
