4 thinly sliced pork chops

Cajun seasoning

chili powder

2 oz. turkey tasso, finely chopped

2 tbs olive oil

1 tbs minced garlic

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1 tbs margarine

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking dish with foil and spray with cooking spray.  Sprinkle each side of pork chops with Cajun seasoning and chili powder, according to the amount of spice you prefer. 

In a saucepan, cook garlic in olive oil for 2 minutes.  Add tasso and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned.  Add breadcrumbs and margarine, stirring to create a wet breadcrumb mixture.  

Place 2 tbs of the breadcrumb mixture onto the middle of each pork chop. Roll up and secure with a toothpick.  Place pork chops in a baking dish.  Place 1 tbs of margarine on top of each pork chop roll.  Cover with foil.  Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
