→ For Baking
17 - 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
18 - Cooking spray or additional olive oil
# How To Make It:
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 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 Advice:
01 -
- The golden brown exterior gives way to juicy turkey wrapped around herb scented stuffing that tastes like Thanksgiving but without hours of prep work
- Each roll up holds its shape beautifully when sliced, creating those pinwheel moments that make everyone at the table pause and appreciate dinner
02 -
- The toothpicks can be tricky to spot once the turkey is browned, so stick a small piece of parchment paper on each one or count exactly how many you use
- Letting the roll ups rest for 5 minutes after baking gives the juices time to redistribute, which means the first slice will be just as juicy as the last
03 -
- Pound the thicker end of each turkey cutlet gently to create an even thickness that rolls and cooks uniformly
- Wrap the exposed ends of the toothpicks with foil before baking to prevent them from scorching
