Made this last night for dinner, everyone loved it! Didn't use the swiss cheese or wine though. Used turkey cutlets, left them as they came out of the package (didn't roll and tie with string) coated them in the flour mixture and followed the rest of the recipe instructions. Will make again soon! - 6/28/11

Im so glad you liked the recipe! My husband likes this recipe but isn't crazy about the swiss cheese. Maybe I will try it your way for him and the original way for me! He will be happy!

I am vegetarian but I cook daily for my husband- I started with this recepie and added to it- he loved it! I added Proscuitto crudo and used fontina cheese instead of swiss. I added red pepper and aparagus and carrots nd let it simmer in the wine sauce (I added extra wine too)... He wants more! - 10/12/07
