NOTES:
Assemble and Bake:
- In the same skillet (or in another cast-iron skillet or baking dish), evenly spread 1/2 cup of the sauce on the bottom. Place the turkey cutlets spaced evenly apart over the sauce.
- Cover each cutlet with ¼ cup sauce, and top each cutlet with a slice of mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle finely chopped parsley on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 425F for 25 minutes until the melted cheese turns golden brown and the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165F.
- Serve over spaghetti and garnish with more parsley on top.
