Ingredients

2 pounds - turkey breast cutlets
1 - onion
4 stalks - celery
4 tablespoons - butter
1 tsp - poultry seasoning
12 ounces - boxed stuffing
3 ½ cups - chicken broth
12 strip - bacon
Salt and pepper
Gravy

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Melt butter in a braiser or oven safe sauté pan, then add the onions and celery. Season with poultry seasoning and salt and pepper to taste and cook until soft, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the broth and bring it to a boil.
Mix in the bread cubes and cover the pan for 8-10 minutes until they’re softened. Move the stuffing to a bowl or plate to cool.
Place turkey cutlets in between wax paper and pound with a meat mallet or another pan to make them thinner and more even.
Salt and pepper both sides of each turkey cutlet.
Spread about ¼ to ½ cup of stuffing on top of each turkey cutlet into an even thin layer.
Roll up each cutlet away from you, then wrap with 2-3 strips of bacon.
Place bacon wrapped turkey cutlets into the braiser and sear the bacon on all sides for 1-2 minutes per side.
Bake for 15 minutes, then flip each roll-up over and bake another 5 minutes. Then broil for about 2-3 min to brown the bacon.
Slice into pinwheels and serve with your favorite homemade or store-bought gravy and sides.
