Saltimbocca translates as “jump into your mouth.” This easy adaptation of the popular Roman dish is prepared with readily available turkey cutlets instead of veal. The addition of ready-to-cook bagged sugar snap peas and cooked orzo makes it a complete meal. Pass warmed Italian bread at the table.

Ingredients

2 tablespoon butter
2 pounds pre-sliced turkey breast filets, cubed
1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage, divided
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
2 (8-ounce) bags sugar snap peas
4 ounces ham, chopped
3/4 cup lower sodium chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
3 cups hot cooked orzo
1 garlic clove, crushed

Instructions

1. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey, sage and salt. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until done. Add the snap peas, ham, broth and cream; cook 8 minutes or until peas are bright green and sauce is thickened.
2. Serve over orzo. Serves 6.
