10 ounces spinach, cleaned
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 large egg, white(s)

1 1/2 lbs skinless boneless turkey breasts, four 6-ounce pieces pounded 1/4-inch thin
1/2 cup water

1
In a large nonstick skillet over moderate heat, warm 2 teaspoons of oil. Add shallots and cook until shallots begin to brown, stirring occasionally, about 1 to 2 minutes.
