# What you need:
→ Turkey & Marinade
01 - 4 large turkey cutlets (about 5 ounces each)
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
05 - 1 teaspoon salt
06 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
→ Stuffing
07 - 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
08 - ½ cup finely chopped celery
09 - ½ cup finely chopped onion
10 - ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
11 - 2 tablespoons melted butter
12 - ⅓ cup low-sodium chicken broth
13 - 1 teaspoon dried sage
14 - ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
15 - ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
16 - ½ teaspoon salt
→ For Baking
17 - 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
18 - Cooking spray or additional olive oil
# Directions:
01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Brush both sides of each turkey cutlet with the mixture.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, celery, onion, parsley, melted butter, chicken broth, sage, rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until the stuffing holds together when pressed.
04 - Lay each turkey cutlet flat. Place a quarter of the stuffing mixture at one end of each cutlet and roll up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
05 - Arrange the roll ups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Pour 1 cup chicken broth around the roll ups (not over them). Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until turkey is cooked through and golden. Remove toothpicks before serving.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The stuffing keeps the turkey incredibly moist so you never end up with dry meat
- These look fancy plated but come together in under an hour
02 -
- Let the cooked roll ups rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks so the juices redistribute
- The broth in the pan creates a flavorful base you can use for simple gravy
03 -
- Pound the cutlets slightly between plastic wrap for even rolling
- Use two toothpicks in an X shape for extra security
