Can I use turkey instead of chicken?

Absolutely, Turkey cutlets work beautifully in this recipe - just make sure to pound them to that same ¼-inch thickness. The cooking time stays about the same too. I've even used thin pork chops in a pinch.

Why is my cheese leaking out?

Oh honey, I've been there Two things help: don't overstuff (leave that border space), and make sure your toothpicks go all the way through the rolls. If some cheese still escapes? Consider it bonus crispy cheese bits - no complaints from my family.

Can I prep this ahead?

You bet, Assemble the rolls (without coating) up to a day ahead - store them covered in the fridge. When ready, just dip in butter and breadcrumbs, then straight into the slow cooker. Easy peasy.

My slow cooker runs hot - any adjustments?

Smart thinking Check at 3 hours - if it hits 165°F, it's done. You can also try the "keep warm" setting after 3 hours if you need more time. Every slow cooker has its own personality.
