Turkey Scallopini with Garlic & Herbs

I found this yummy recipe at Spark People. I'd never had a scallopini dish before, or really new what one was, so I was surprised to discover that it is just referred to thinly sliced meat. That's good to know!

Turkey Scallopini with Garlic & Herbs (Serves 4 at 4 points a piece)

Ingredients:

3 minced garlic cloves

1 lb turkey scallopini or thinly sliced turkey breast

1 tsp rosemary

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp oregano

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

In a food processor or small bowl, combine garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well. Brush over both sides of turkey.

Grill immediately or cover and let stand for 30 minutes at room temperature. You can also refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

On lightly greased grill, grill for 2 minutes on each side or just until cooked through.

I had to modify the recipe slightly because it originally called for a lot more oil, but I thought a tablespoon would suffice. After I mixed the seasonings and oil, I placed the mixture into a bag along with the turkey. Doing this made it easy to get the turkey completely and evenly covered.

The turkey scallopini both smelled and tasted wonderful. You could really taste all of the herbs and garlic in the dish, there was definitely no lack of flavor. The turkey would also be great in salads, wraps, and pitas. It's a very versatile dish, and you could make a double batch and use it in two different meals during the week.
