    Subbed real butter for the margarine . . . healthier option in the long run. - 5/21/17

    My family loves this! I've made it several times. I admit I use lemon juice concentrate but it still turns out amazing. - 11/15/15

    I'm eating this RIGHT NOW! Soooo good. I used to make a similar Rachael Ray recipe with turkey cutlets. This is just as good and so much healthier. I served it on top of a HUGE bed of spinach. Next time, I'll double the sauce (worth the few extra calories) and add some capers :) - 8/30/11
