Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Place the turkey breast fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them gently with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the fresh spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over each pounded turkey fillet.
Carefully roll each turkey fillet from one end to the other, enclosing the filling. Secure the rolls with toothpicks to keep them from unrolling.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with 1 tablespoon of water, and one with breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese combined.
Dip each turkey roll into the flour, turning to coat evenly, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place the breaded turkey rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil cooking spray to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Ensure the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the toothpicks carefully before serving. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
