Cajun Turkey Roulades

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out all of the seeds.  Spray the cut half with vegetable cooking spray and place cut-side-down on a baking sheet.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until squash is soft when squeezed.  Be sure not to overbake, the texture should be al dente.

Meanwhile, cook the rice in a large saucepan for about 1 minute.

Pour the chicken broth into the saucepan, cover and place in the oven for 40 minutes.

Remove the rice and let stand for 5 minutes.  Fluff with a fork before serving.

Remove the spaghetti squash and let stand for 5 minutes.  Scrape the flesh from inside using a fork or a large spoon.  Place in a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper or your favorite herb rub.  (You can also use 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce for more flavor.)  Keep warm until ready to use.

Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat.  Slice the green part of the leek into 8 thin strips about 6 to 8 inches long.  Place in the boiling water just until they become pliable.  Remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry.

To make the roulades, place 1 slice of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of the squash on one end of each turkey slice, roll the turkey around the squash and tie up with the leek strips.

Spray a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.  Arrange the roulades on the baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes until heated through.

Distribute the rice evenly among four plates and top with two roulades per plate.
