"Because I'm watching my weight, I've used this recipe for years," writes Janet Bumb of Beallsville, Maryland. "Served with a flavorful tomato sauce, these cutlets taste so good that my son, who is thin and doesn't need to worry about his weight, requests them for his birthday dinner!"

Ingredients

2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 package (17.6 ounces) turkey breast cutlets
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons oil; saute onion until tender. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and herbs; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, over medium heat until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, sprinkle both sides of turkey with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. In batches, cook turkey until no longer pink, turning once. Serve with sauce. Sprinkle with cheese.
