Ingredients:

• 4 (1/4- lb.) turkey breast cutlets
• 2 large egg whites
• 1/3 cup Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs
• 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 2 /3 cups fat-free tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Makes 4 Servings

1. Gently pound the turkey cutlets to a scant 1/4-thickness with a meat mallet or heavy saucepan.
2. Lightly beat the egg whites in a medium bowl. Spread the bread crumbs on a plate. Spread the flour on a second plate. Working with 1 piece of turkey at a time, dip both sides into the flour; shake off the excess flour. The dip the turkey into the egg whites and then into the bread  crumbs to coat; set aside. Repeat with remaining cutlets, egg whites, and bread crumbs.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated turkey cutlets and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat and pour the pasta sauce over the cutlets. Top each cutlets with 2 tablespoons of the mozzarella cheese and 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. Cover and simmer until the sauce is hot and the cheese melts, about 4 minutes.

If you're really pressed for time, after topping the chicken with the sauce and cheeses, put it under a broiler, cook it until the cheese melts ( about 3-4 minutes) and then serve it hot.
