Prep Time10 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time40 mins
 2 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped
 4 Ontario turkey breast cutlets
 4 slices Gouda or Swiss cheese
 4 slices Prosciutto
 1 cup (250 mL) packed baby spinach
 1 tsp (5 mL) dried sage Salt and pepper
 1 tbsp (15 mL) extra virgin olive oil
 2 tbsp (30 mL) unsalted butter
 1 cup (250 mL) skim milk Fresh sage (optional), for garnish
Steps:
1

Preheat oven to 350F (180 °C). Add chopped sweet potato to a large pot of cold water, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, arrange turkey cutlets between plastic wrap. Pound until 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick. Arrange cheese, Prosciutto and spinach down on top of the cutlet. Sprinkle with sage, salt and pepper. Roll up each cutlet and secure with 2 pieces of string. Season the outside of the turkey cutlets with salt and pepper.

3

Heat oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large non-stick skillet. Sear cutlets on all sides until golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer cutlets to a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the oil and tent with foil.

4

Drain cooked sweet potato and return to pot. Add milk, remaining butter and season with salt and pepper. Mash until desired consistency.

5

To serve, divide sweet potato between plates. Slice turkey cutlets in half crosswise to show filling and arrange on top of sweet potato. If desired, garnish with fresh sage.
