Turkey, Stuffing, Zucchini Strata with Marinated Mushrooms and Roasted Red Peppers

I made this last night for my peeps and me =  RAAAAAAAAVE reviews:
(serves 6)

6 thin turkey cutlets
Coconut oil cooking spray
EVOO
Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper
Stove Top Stuffing for Turkey
4 T. butter
1 stalk of celery, diced
1/2 sweet white onion, diced
Fresh marjoram
Fresh variegated sage
Fresh parsley (hand tear all the herbs)
Roasted and salted sunflower seeds
Zucchini, cut in tiny dice
Marinated mushrooms, sliced
Roasted red pepper strips, chopped
Garlic paste
4 green onions, sliced
6 eggs
1/4 cup light mayo.
1&1/2 cups 2% milk
Freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt
Panko bread crumbs
Grated Parmesan and Romano cheese

Spray large baking dish with cooking spray. Sprinkle lemon pepper on both sides of cutlets, and place in dish. Drizzle lightly with EVOO. Bake at 325 til just until done and juicy. Take out of the oven, cover with foil, and let cool. Cut into small cubes. Meanwhile, make the stuffing according to package instructions, but add in the celery, white onion, marjoram, sage, parsley, and sunflower seeds. Spread out in a smaller baking dish, and bake at 325 til the bread cubes are moist. Remove and fluff with a fork. In another large greased rectangle baking dish, pat down stuffing on the bottom, add turkey cubes, green onions, zucchini, mushrooms, and red pepper. Squirt on about an inch of garlic paste on top, and (using your hands) spread it around veggies and turkey. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, mayo., and milk. Pour over turkey and stuffing mixture. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, and a tiny bit of salt. Top with Panko, and the grated cheeses. Bake uncovered at 325 for around an hour or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let rest and set for 10 mins. before cutting.

Editor's note: I served this with my Mom's DELISH 4 bean salad to which I added hearts of palm. Recipe to follow tomorrow.

"The next time you find yourself dwelling upon the negatives of life, refocus your attention on things positive. The next time you find yourself falling prey to the blight of pessimism, stop yourself and turn your thoughts around."

Have FUN today.
