This is an adaptation of a recipe in the South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook. The recipe called for pine nuts and I didn't have any. The rest is history. Yum-eee!
Serving Suggestions:
Spaghetti squash topped with Parmesan ... or Butternut Squash
Ingredients:
4 turkey cutlets
1 cup ground, shelled pistachios
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. of Italian seasoning
Marinara sauce, or any other low-sugar pasta sauce
Provolone cheese slices

2 tsp. olive oil

Instructions:
Grind the shelled pistachios in a food processor until some pieces are finely ground while others are a bit chunky. Add the cheese and Italian seasoning to the ground pistachios in a bowl. Toss to combine.

Pat turkey cutlets dry with a paper towel. Dredge the cutlets in the pistachio crumb mixture; patting down with your hand to adhere all the good nutty bits.

Meanwhile you should be heating your oil in a non-stick frying pan on medium heat.

Add cutlets and brown on both sides, taking care not to let the nuts burn. Browning is okay, burning is not! Transfer cutlets to a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with sauce; enough to coat and then some. Then top with provolone slices.

Depending on thickness of cutlets (I like the ones that are not pressed into shape, so about 1 inch thick) bake in 375 degree oven for about 15 mintues or until sauce is bubbly and cheese is starting to brown.
