Weight Watchers: Turkey Rolled w/Roasted Red Pepper and Mozzarella

As I mentioned previously, my husband is doing weight watchers and I am supporting him by making lots of weight watcher friendly recipes. Here is a very simple and delicious main dish that I think you would enjoy in your household. We served this dish with some oven roasted cauliflower and broccoli, and some fresh orange wedges.

For those doing weight watchers, this recipe is 4 PointsPlus per serving.

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 cup roasted red bell peppers (you can roast your own or buy the kind packed in water)
1/2 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-Spray a broiler rack with nonstick cooking spray or cover with nonstick foil.
-In a small bowl, mix together the parsley, garlic, rosemary, and lemon zest.
-Layer turkey breasts in between 2 sheets of wax paper; pound the turkey breasts until flat. Remove the wax paper.
-Rub each pounded turkey breast with parsley mixture, place a red pepper slice over each and sprinkle with some mozzarella cheese. Roll up each turkey breast and secure with toothpicks. Place on the broiler rack, seam-side down, and bake for about 20 minutes or until cooked completely.

Enjoy! :)
