Turkey/Chicken Parmesan

By Ckelley116

Ingredients

• 2 cups low-sugar pasta sauce
• 1/2 cup pine nuts, coarsely chopped
• 1 oz freshly grated Parmesan (1/4 cup)
• 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 1 lb turkey cutlets, about 1/3" thick, or 1 lb boneless skinless chicken cutlets
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 2 oz part skim mozzarella cheese (1/2 cup)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to broil.

Bring sauce to a low simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Stir together pine nuts, parmesan, and Italian seasoning in a wide, shallow dish.

Season the meat on both sides with salt and pepper, then dredge both sides in the nut mixture, pressing to adhere.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

Add meat and cook until coating is golden brown and juices run clear. If nuts brown too quickly, reduce heat.

Place meat in a baking pan, top evenly with mozzarella, and broil until cheese melts.

Spoon 1/2 cup of warm sauce on each plate and top each with a piece of turkey or chicken.
