Saltimboca, which means jumps in the mouth, in Italian, refers to the tasty combination of flavors in this Roman specialty. Turkey Cutlets, proscuitto, and asparagus flavored with goat cheese and fresh sage combine for a scrumptious weeknight dinner. Select asparagus that are slightly thicker for ease in wrapping the cutlets. Plunging the asparagus into ice water stops the cooking process so that the vegetable retains its bright green hue and delicious flavor. Soaking the wooden skewers in water ensures that they won't char on the grill. This one-dish meal pairs perfectly with a side of pasta, new potatoes or crusty Italian bread.
