Anyhow, I make up these stuffed-filled turkey cutlets and lemon butter green beans in my modest kitchen last night. It may not be much to look at, but considering the circumstances, I was mighty pleased.
For the green beans:
1 pound trimmed green beans
1/2 tablespoon butter
Juice from half of one lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Combine all the ingredients in a microwavable steaming bag (there are several brands now, including Glad SimplyCooking and Ziploc Zip'n Steam). The bag is not necessary, I just found that I get even cooking and easy clean up. Microwave as directed on the bag, or for about two minutes. Don't let it set too long or the beans will overcook and discolor. Top with freshly ground pepper, sea salt and a fresh lemon wedge.
For the turkey:
2 turkey breast cutlets
1/2 cup prepared stuffing, divided (I used a hearty herb mix)
1/2 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons water
Combine 1/4 stuffing and the butter and water. Place cutlets in a plastic bag or in plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thickness using a mallet or heavy soup can. Place a spoon full of the filling in the middle and wrap the cutlet around it. Roll the cutlet in remaining stuffing mixture. Place in electric skillet, skillet on a hot plate or in Xpress 101 and cook for three minutes per side or until cooked through.
I found my electric skillet utterly useless and transferred over to the Xpress 101. I liked this recipe because I could use minimal ingredients and end up with turkey that had a nice outer crust and moist stuffing inside. The steam bag allowed my beans to turn out tasty and not overcooked, while infusing them with the lemon butter flavor.
I'm going to work with what I have, but this is a start.

Kelly, it looks tasty and easy too.
Simple recipes are the best, and yours looks delicious!
along the same lines, just about any veggie (my favorite combination being red pepper, onion, and garlic) can be microwaved in a baggie on low heat for a while until it all gets soft and merges together with a little olive oil and thrown over rice, chicken, pasta, bread... whatever.
i wonder if it would be possible to adapt slow cooker recipes for microwave use.
You have been busy! I would love to take a segway tour of Atlanta--and D.C. for that matter.
I hope you are having fun cooking (and eating) in your new city. I remember DC having really good cheesesteaks...
Healthy stuffed turkey cutlets.
