Skinny Turkey Pomodoro
What a lovely presentation this Italian inspired dish will make. It’s so easy and quick to make. One unusual ingredient in the sauce, vodka! Be sure to deglaze the pan with the vodka off the heat. I’ve made it skinny by using lean turkey cutlets, adding a little oil and no cream. One skinny serving has 252 calories and 4 grams of fat.
