→ 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 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 until turkey is cooked through and golden. Remove toothpicks before serving.
# Tips for Success:
01 -
- The stuffing keeps the turkey incredibly moist while baking, so no dry meat here
- Everything bakes in one dish with minimal prep and maximum flavor payoff
02 -
- Let the turkey rest for at least 5 minutes before removing toothpicks to keep all those delicious juices inside
- The stuffing is done when a knife inserted into the center comes out hot to the touch
03 -
- Pound the cutlets between plastic wrap to even thickness before rolling for consistent cooking
- Let the assembled roll ups sit for 10 minutes before baking to help them hold their shape
