     Thin turkey cutlets are perfect for making 'birds' or rolls.... And less expensive than the more traditional veal.

Turkey Rolls Stuffed with Pimiento and Feta

Total time: 40 minutes
    Turkey is a rather bland meat, lending itself very well to be stuffed with bright flavors.  If you can't get thin turkey cutlets, you could use veal cutlets or chicken breasts, pounded thin.
