The 28-year-old Olympian beat Poland's Karolina Talach in her opening bout before losing to Germany's Martyna Trajdos.
That put her through to the repechage where she regrouped and beat Italy's Edwige Gwend and, when her next opponent, France's Clarisse Agbegnenou pulled out through injury, bronze was awarded to Schlesinger.
Born in Israel, Schlesinger already had three bronze medals to her name at European level although all of them came before switching to represent Great Britain in December 2014.
"It feels good to win another European medal and this time for Great Britain," Schlesinger said.
"I have only had one competition this year due to injury, so it was good to have some fights and get back into things."
