Ingredients: 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs; 1 pound boneless skinless turkey breast, cut into 8 slices; 2 tablespoons canola oil; 4 slices Swiss cheese, halved; 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry; 3 cups meatless spaghetti sauce

For this main course, I tuck Swiss cheese and spinach into browned turkey slices, then tops them with store-bought spaghetti sauce before baking until they're heated through. I usually serve these roll-ups with pasta, a green salad and rolls.—Lillian E. Butler, Stratford, Connecticut

Ingredients

1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 pound boneless skinless turkey breast, cut into 8 slices
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 slices Swiss cheese, halved
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
3 cups meatless spaghetti sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Place bread crumbs in a large resealable plastic bag. Add turkey; toss to coat. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add turkey in batches; brown on both sides. Remove from skillet.
Place half of a cheese slice and 2 tablespoons spinach down the center of each turkey slice. Fold turkey over filling; secure with toothpicks.
Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Top with spaghetti sauce. Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted in turkey reads 165°, 12-15 minutes. Discard toothpicks.

This is really good. I served it with the Lemon Angel Hair on the same page and French bread.

This is a simple and fairly quick recipe. It was absolutely delicious. I served it with angel hair pasta ( with the rest of the spinach mixed in) and sprinkled it with parmesan. I will definately make this again.
