16 - ½ teaspoon salt
→ For Baking
17 - 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
18 - Cooking spray or additional olive oil
# Directions:
01 - Preheat 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 roll ups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Pour 1 cup chicken broth around the roll ups. 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 Suggestions:
01 -
- The stuffing stays incredibly moist while the turkey remains tender and juicy throughout baking.
- These roll ups look fancy enough for Sunday dinner but come together in under an hour on a weeknight.
02 -
- Do not skip covering the roll ups with foil for the first 25 minutes or the turkey will dry out before the stuffing heats through.
- Removing the toothpicks before serving is crucial for safety and makes eating these so much more pleasant.
03 -
- Pound the turkey cutlets between plastic wrap to an even thickness before rolling for uniform cooking.
- Use kitchen twine instead of toothpicks for a more secure hold and easier removal.
