Day 16: Ham and Swiss Stuffed Turkey Rolls

No story. The recipe is from Dianna, and it sounded good. It also seemed relatively easy. I did need to go to the store just for Thyme though because it is not a current occupant of my spice cabinet.

Ham and Swiss Stuffed Turkey Rolls

4 1/4 lb turkey breast cutlets

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 slices Black Forest Ham

2 slices reduced fat Swiss cheese, halved

5 tablespoons plain dried breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon reduced fat mayo

1/4 cup dry white wine

1/4 reduced sodium chicken broth

1 teaspoon butter

Step 1: Sprinkle black pepper over cutlets. Place 1 slice of ham and half slice of cheese on top of each cutlet. Roll Jelly roll style and fasten with 2 toothpicks

Step 2: Combine breadcrumbs and thyme on wax paper

Step 3: Brush the turkey rolls with mayo and roll in breadcrumbs. Press lightly to coat

Step 4: Spray a large non stick skillet with cooking spray and heat to med-high heat. Add turkey rolls and cook until browned on all sides(about 5 minutes).

Step 5: Add wine, broth and butter to skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered. Cook until the turkey is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened(about 5 more minutes).

Kitchen Play by Play: I bought the Jenny O cutlets and 7 came in the package. I had enough of everything else, so I went ahead and made all 7. Some of the cutlets fell apart when I took them out of the package so I had to do some patch work. Brushing with the mayo and rolling in the breadcrumbs presented a challenge due to the toothpicks. I tried to work around them and coat as best as I could. No huge surprise that the most stressful part of this recipe for me was the actual cooking. I must have checked to see if they were cooked 10 times. Then I was fooled by the melted cheese and thought that it was undercooked turkey, so I put them back on the stove. I decided to make tonight a mini thanksgiving and added stuffing and canned corn to the meal. Since the cutlets are so low in points and calories, there was some room for a splurge.

The finished product
The Verdict:
Nicole- There is a reason I didn't own thyme. I don't like it...at all. I also waaaaay overcooked the turkey. It was like trying to chew through leather. Probably not again. I give it a 3.

Paul-gives it a 2.75. "No thank you, thyme."

Austin- Paul mixed Austin's all together to ensure he was eating a little bit of every thing. First bite, he dug the the turkey out of his mouth and threw it on the floor. I guess he didn't like it.
