   FLATTEN each slice of turkey gently between two sheets
   of wax paper to between 1/8 and 1/4-inch thick. Chill
   the cutlets until ready to stuff them. (Wrap in wax
   paper to prevent drying.)
   
   MUSHROOM SAUCE:  place the broth and mushroom pieces
   in a saucepan. Add sugar (aspertame, if using) and
   soy. Cover. Set heat to lowest possible. The idea is
   to flavor the broth, not to reduce the sauce. Use a
   diffuser, if necessary.
   
   SET UP STEAMER:  Scrub potatoes; cut into 1 inch
   chunks or use the salad reds. Wash and trim beans; cut
   into bites, optional.
   
   STUFFING STEP #1:  Wash and spin-dry fresh spinach.
   Rough chop. Spray a skillet with vegetable cooking
   spray, add the onion and garlic, and saute over
   moderate heat until the onion is translucent, about 3
   to 4 minutes. Add the wine, raise the heat, and bring
   to a boil, burning off the strong smell of alcohol
   (about 1 to 1-1/2 mins); then add the spinach. Cover;
   cook for 2 minutes to wilt the spinach. Remove from
   heat. Set up a sieve and transfer the spinach and
   onion to it. Let it drain until the spinach is cool
   enough to handle.
   
   STEP #2: While spinach is cooling, measure and mince
   fresh parsley, thyme, and basil. Measure the lemon
   juice and zest and set aside. Gently squeeze excess
   moisture from the spinach, (chop some more if needed),
   place in a bowl. Flavor with herbs and lemon. Stir in
   the breadcrumbs, almond dust, if using, and egg; mix
   well.
   
   STUFF AND ROLL:  Place a turkey cutlet on a work
   surface and spread evenly with portion of spinach
   mixture. Roll up the cutlets.
   
   SHOWTIME: Heat oven to 350F. Spray a the saute pan
   with vegetable cooking spray and place over moderate
   heat. Add the turkey rolls, seam side down and
   sear/brown; turning, to brown on all sides, about 5
   minutes. Add 1 cup chicken broth and heat.  Put pan,
   covered in oven. - Bake about 15 minutes. Remove
   cover. Bake about 4 to 5 minutes. - Meanwhile start
   the steamer and steam vegetables until just tender (17
   mins). Keep warm. - Remove turkey from oven. Turn off
   heat. - Optional: Drain the liquid to the musroom
   sauce. - Keep rolls warm in the cooling oven. -
   Thicken sauce with cornstarch mixture. - Arrange food
   on heated plates. Sprinkle potatoes and beans with a
   little ground nutmeg and pepper. Ladle rolls with
   sauce. Serve with a small scoop of cranberry sauce (or
   sideof shrub); a small salad of endive with ranch
   dressing may also be served. Recipe By : New Spa Food:
