Ingredients:
1
frozen whole boneless turkey breast, thawed (3-1/2 to 4 pounds)
1
package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2
ounces blue cheese or feta cheese

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat roasting pan and rack with nonstick cooking spray.

Unroll turkey breast; rinse and pat dry. Place turkey between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Pound turkey to 1-inch thickness using flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin. Remove and discard skin from one half of turkey breast; turn meat over so skin side (on other half) faces down.
