Clean Eating Stuffed Turkey Cutlets and a new Mom on the Run Blog Toy

I have enjoyed trying the many Eat Clean Recipes from my favorite clean eater, Tosca Reno. I was apprehensive at first to try many of these recipes because I was not to sure of the different flavor and texture combinations. What really made me decide to take the culinary Eat Clean Diet leap was the fact that I need to eat better. (Who doesn't?) I have been slacking this summer and letting the stress of life get in my way of being healthy. What I have been realizing is that I MUST be committed and well planned for this health journey to actually see the results I am looking for. I have been so inspired by all of your blogs of ?Green Monsters? and ?Banana Soft Serve? the I want to also enjoy in the life of health. With all that said here is another great Eat Clean Recipe.

ROAST STUFFED TURKEY CUTLETS

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup / 125 ml cooked broccoli (I used spinach instead)
1/4 cup / 60 ml finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup / 125 ml breadcrumbs (use gluten-free bread if desired)
1/4 cup / 60 ml fine oat bran (uncontaminated)
1/3 cup / 80 ml chopped walnuts
1/3 cup / 80 ml finely chopped apricots
2 Tbsp / 30 ml water or low sodium chicken stock (gluten free if necessary)
4 turkey cutlets of pork tenderloins (or one large turkey breast)
1 Tbsp / 15 ml black peppercorns, coarsely chopped
1 tsp / 5 ml dried sage
1 tsp / 5 ml dried rosemary
1 tsp / 5 ml dried thyme
Sea salt

Instructions:

In a medium bowl combine broccoli, bread crumbs, oat bran, walnuts, parsley, chopped apricots and 2 tablespoons / 30 ml water or low-sodium chicken stock. Mix well and set aside.

Place pork tenderloins (or turkey breast) on cutting board and butterfly them - cut them in half lengthwise almost all the way through but not quite. Using the blade of a large wide knife, such as a cleaver, flatten the pork tenderloins.

Spoon the stuffing into each of the tenderloins or turkey if using.

Fold one side over the other and tie with kitchen twine, starting at the end of the tenderloin or turkey breast. Sprinkle with dried herbs, black peppercorns and sea salt. Place in shallow casserole dish. Bake in preheated 350°F / 177°C oven for 25 to 40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 160°F / 71°C.

Remove meat from oven and cover with foil. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Serve pork or turkey with unsweetened applesauce. It is delicious!

This one gets a Mom on the Run Family approval. The filling was savory and full of flavor. It was a great blend of spices and grains. The girls each wanted more! Another great recipe to add to my Eat Clean dinner rotations.

I also got a new blog gadget. The wonderful Jen over at Following the Footsteps is offering a great offer for blog buttons. She is offering her blog formatting service of buttons for the very low price of $5.00. All the money is going to a family who is currently trying to adopt a little girl from South Korea. As of an adopted mother of my two girls, I found this so touching! So here is Jen?s creation for me!
