Ingredients
For the marinara sauce
- 14 oz of stewed tomatoes
- 1 tsp of garlic salt
- 2 tbsp of tomato paste
- 1 tbsp of Italian seasoning
For the cutlets
- 16 oz Turkey tenderloin
- 1 large egg - whisked lightly

- 1/2 cup of all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp of Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp of Fresh thyme

Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the ingredients for the Marinara sauce and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes.
- While this is cooking, prepare the cutlets. Get out 2 bowls and 2 plates. Put skim milk in one bowl and egg in the other. Place flour and seasonings on one plate and the Panko bread crumbs on the other.
- Dip the cutlets first into the egg, then into the flour, then into the skim milk and finally roll in the Panko bread crumbs.
- Heat the oil in a pan and lightly fry the cutlets until light golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Place a few spoonfuls of the marinara in a baking dish. Top with the cutlets and spoon over the rest of the sauce. Add grated cheese to each cutlet.
- Cook in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the turkey is cooked through.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
