Turkey or chicken manicotti

  • I just found this recipe online, but although it calls for deli turkey slices, I think pounded-out chicken would be better. Pound out the chicken until thin and put the ingredients in, and roll up, using toothpicks if necessary to hold.


    Ingredients:

    * 16 oz low fat or FF ricotta cheese
    * 1 c shredded lowfat mozzarella
    * 2 eggs
    * 1/4 cup grated parmesan
    * 1 t Italian herbs
    * pinch nutmeg
    * salt & pepper
    * 8 slices deli turkey breasts, sliced about the thickness of a tortilla (or pounded-out chicken breasts!)
    * 1 cup low sugar tomato sauce

    Directions:

    *

    Mix ricotta, eggs, 3/4 cup mozzarella, parmesan and spices.
    *

    Spoon filling down center of each turkey sliced, dividing evenly among 8 slices. Roll up.
    *

    Spoon 1/2 cup sauce onto bottom of casserole dish. Lay rolled-up "manicotti" on sauce, top with rest of sauce.
    *

    Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Bake at 350 till heated and cheese on top is bubbly.
  • Sounds delish!!! I think I'd throw some spinach in, too.
