A quick and easy heart-healthy meal
This quick recipe, featuring thin-sliced turkey breast, can be on your table in minutes. Serve it over brown rice with a side salad. Pounding the normally one-half inch cutlets makes them quite tender, and cooking them quickly keeps them moist. If you don’t have a mallet, just place the cutlets between two sheets of wax paper, and pound with a heavy pan or pot.
