Turkey Breast Cutlets Stuffed with Zucchini and Garlic Herb Cheese

We had a very busy weekend and last night we just wanted to relax and enjoy a delicious and healthy supper. I threw together this turkey dish and we devoured it. We are already looking forward to leftovers at lunch today. It is quick and very simple to prepare. It is also healthy and you will really like the flavors. We had garlic roasted asparagus and homemade oven baked onion rings with this dish.
