Ingredients

  • 2 turkey tenderloins (1 pound total)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 6 pieces havarti cheese (3/4-inch wide by 3-inch long)
  • 2/3 cup fine dry breadcrumb
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg, beaten

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 13x9" glass baking dish.
  • Cut each turkey piece into thirds crosswise (crosswise is placing your knife on top and cutting downward), forming six pieces (3 pieces per breast). Then cut a lengthwise slit in the center of each tenderloin to within 1/2" of the opposite site. Open tenderloins and place smooth side down on work surface. Season pieces with salt and pepper.
  • In small bowl combine melted butter and mustard; brush over the cut sides of the tenderloins. Place a piece of cheese in center of open tenderloin on top of mustard mixture. Close tenderloin around cheese, forming a bundle; secure with toothpicks.
  • Combine bread crumbs, flour, Parmesan cheese, thyme and salt in a shallow pan. Combine cream and beaten egg in another shallow pan and stir to combine. Dip filled tenderloins in egg mixture, then roll in crumb mixture to coat.
  • Place turkey tenderloins in baking dish and bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. Carefully turn tenderloins and bake 20-25 minutes longer until turkey is thoroughly cooked or 160 degrees on a meat thermometer. Remove toothpicks before serving.
