By

Here's a different take on turkey: Ultra-thin cutlets are sprinkled with parsley, lemon zest, and garlic, then rolled up with roasted red pepper and mozzarella.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup parsley, packed, chopped, flat-leaf variety
  • 1 clove garlic clove, minced (medium)
  • 1/4 tsp dried rosemary, crumbled
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, strip, coarsley chopped
  • 1 pound turkey breast, cutlets trimmed of all visible fat
  • 3 oz roasted red peppers, about 4 slices
  • 1/2 cup shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking dish with olive oil nonstick spray. Combine the parsley, garlic, rosemary, and lemon zest in a small bowl.

Place the turkey cutlets between 2 sheets of wax paper and pound gently to flatten slightly. Remove the wax paper. Rub each cutlet with the parsely mixture, place a red-pepper slice on each cutlet, and sprinkle with the cheese. Roll up gently from the wide end and secure the rolls with toothpicks. Place, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Yields 1 turkey roll per serving.

*Notes: Whole roasted peppers from a jar are best here. To make rolling easy, cut each slice so it's slightly smaller than the cutlet.
