Turkey Rolls Stuffed with Ricotta and Herbs Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 turkey cutlets
• 1 cup of fresh ricotta cheese
• 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon of lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 4 wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Place the turkey cutlets on top of a sheet of parchment paper and pound them with a meat mallet until they are all the same thickness.
3. In a bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt and black pepper.
4. Spoon the herbed ricotta cheese mixture on top of each turkey cutlet, then roll them up tightly.
5. Secure the turkey rolls with the wooden skewers, one on each end.
6. Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the turkey rolls on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.
7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the turkey is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Let the turkey rolls rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Verdict:

The combination of the herbed ricotta cheese and the tender turkey is a winning combination. The lemon zest adds a bright, fresh flavor to the dish, and the wooden skewers keep everything together and make for a beautiful presentation.
