→ For Baking

17 - 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
18 - Cooking spray or additional olive oil

# Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Brush both sides of each turkey cutlet with the mixture.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, celery, onion, parsley, melted butter, chicken broth, sage, rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until the stuffing holds together when pressed.
04 - Lay each turkey cutlet flat. Place a quarter of the stuffing mixture at one end of each cutlet and roll up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
05 - Arrange the roll ups seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Pour 1 cup chicken broth around the roll ups (not over them). Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until turkey is cooked through and golden. Remove toothpicks before serving.
