Skillet Turkey Parmesan

From refrigerator to table in 12 minutes, AND it tastes good too!  I am all for it.  How about the rest of you?  I might serve this over pasta for others, or I love thin sliced summer squash lightly steamed as a base for “red sauce” dishes.  How about spaghetti squash, baby spinach, or even Shirataki noodles?  Whatever you choose, be sure to add the calories to your totals.

Ingredients:

• 4 - four ounce turkey cutlets flattened (or turkey tenders as they are sometimes called- basically, boneless, skinless slices of raw turkey breast meat)
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 1 ½ cups of marinara sauce of 45 calories per ½ cup (careful label reading is required here I use Trader Joe’s Rustico sauce but have found one in this calorie range in every market I have been to)
• ½ cup shredded light mozzarella cheese ( I use Trader Joe’s it is 45 calories/5 grams protein per ounce)
• 2 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Spray a large skillet with Olive Oil spray - I use my Misto
2. Place over medium heat
3. Add cutlets, cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes
4. Turn cutlets over and season with salt and pepper
5. Heat until cooked through, about 3 minutes
6. Add marinara sauce
7. Sprinkle cheeses over the cutlets
8. Simmer covered until cheeses are melted, about 2 minutes
9. Serve and enjoy!
