Spiced apple and havarti stuffed turkey breast

Spiced apple and havarti stuffed turkey breast

Ingredients

½ tsp Pumpkin Spice Sweet Drops®, 2 oz

2 turkey tenderloins, 12 oz each

2/3 cup apples, peeled and diced

1/3 cup sweet onion, diced

2 tsp fresh sage leaves, finely chopped

2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped

3 oz Havarti cheese, thinly sliced

Salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set aside. Combine the apple, onion, sage, thyme, and Pumpkin Spice Sweet Drops in a small bowl.

Using a sharp knife, make a deep slit along the thickest side of the turkey tenderloin, with your knife parallel to the cutting board to create a pocket. Cut far into the breast, but not all the way through.

Layer slices of havarti inside the pocket and then push the apple stuffing on top of the cheese. Bring the edges of the meat together and create a seal to keep the stuffing from falling out. Tie the meat together with butcher’s twine or use toothpicks to seal the meat together.

Spread olive oil over tenderloins and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat reads 165 degrees F.

Remove turkey from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove the twine or toothpicks, and then slice the turkey to serve.
