Turkey Parmesan

INGREDIENTS:
  • Whole wheat pasta or No pasta
  • 2 cups low-sugar pasta sauce
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 lb turkey cutlets, about 1/3 inch thick
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 oz shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Heat oven to a broil. Bring sauce to low simmer in small saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
  2. Stir together pine nuts, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning in a wide/shallow dish. Season turkey on both sides with salt and pepper, then dredge both sides in the nut mixture, pressing to adhere.
  3. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add turkey and cook until golden brown and juices run clear. If nuts brown too quickly, reduce heat.
  4. Place turkey in a baking pan. Top evenly with mozzarella cheese and broil until cheese melts, about 30 seconds.
  5. Spoon 1/2 cup warm sauce on each place and top with piece of turkey.
