Turkey Cutlets with Bacon and Cheese

Most people cannot resist bacon and cheese.

I cannot resist a white wine / yogurt sauce.

As the weather cools and the cooking returns to the kitchen, my thoughts turn to our favorites.

We have all winter to think about healthy….

The turkey cutlets we get here are so versatile.

They are big, so I normally buy 2 cutlets and cut them into thirds; and they are thin so are great to use in stir-fries, quiches, or as a base for something fun.

Just add bacon.

Notes

Canadian bacon is the same as back bacon.
Cut the turkey to the size you want, and the mozzarella in enough slices to match the turkey. You could substitute chicken breasts or chicken tenders, pounded thinly.
Substitute sour cream for the yogurt if you prefer.
