Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and half of the salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the stuffing.
Place each turkey cutlet on a flat surface and pound gently with a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Spoon a portion of the spinach mixture onto one end of each cutlet. Roll each cutlet tightly around the stuffing and secure with 1-2 toothpicks.
Season the outside of the turkey rolls with the remaining salt, black pepper, and paprika. If desired, lightly coat the rolls with bread crumbs for added texture.
In an oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey rolls for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet to create a light sauce. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the rolls rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks.
Serve the stuffed turkey cutlets warm with the pan sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy!
