Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 8 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 0.25 cups Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven's broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heating element.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Pat the turkey breast cutlets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each cutlet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Arrange the seasoned turkey cutlets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Set aside while preparing the spinach.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 6

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until wilted. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes. Once all the spinach has wilted, pour in the chicken broth and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the lemon juice, then remove the skillet from heat and cover to keep warm.

Step 7

Place the turkey cutlets into the oven under the broiler. Broil for 5-6 minutes, then flip each cutlet over and broil for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the edges are golden brown.

Step 8

Divide the cooked spinach among four plates, creating a bed for the turkey. Place a broiled turkey cutlet on top of each spinach bed.

Step 9

Optionally, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy this nutritious, hearty dish!
