Overnight Tarragon Turkey Tenderloins

Get 2 turkey tenderloins.

Pound out as flat as you can with a meat mallet

Sprinkle with salt and pepper

Mix one small 4 oz package of cream cheese with
one teaspoon of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of tarragon, and one small jar of pimentos (drained).

Put that mix in the middle of the flattened turkey tenderloins. Make sure they're REALLLLLLLY FLAT! Roll up the turkey, and secure the ends with bamboo skewers. Make sure that non of the cream cheese mixture is showing. It would be detremental to the final outcome.

Now, set this stuff in a pam sprayed glass container, and add a few pats of butter. I set the butter on top of the turkey rolls.

Sprinkle the turkey rolls with salt and pepper and tarragon.

Now, put in the fridge overnight.

The next day, when you want to eat, put it in the oven (preheated at 425) and cook it! For about 25-35 minutes. IT will sizzle with deliciousness, and you know that it will surely become a family favorite.

If you can't find turkey, you can use chicken breast. It will be a lot richer though.

It's refrigerated overnight to help the cream cheese 'harden up' a little so it doesn't ooze too easily when baking.

Question of the day.........


Can you substitute Splenda for the sugar? or is 1/8 tsp fairly insignificant?

Re: The Never Ending Recipe Thread

Love that site

Re: The Never Ending Recipe Thread

Sorry, was referring to Terry's Flax Hot Cereal with protein powder. Is there one type of protein powder that's more suitable? It would certainly be nice to have an alternative to eggs.

No special protein powder needed. Some dislike the soy powders flavorwise and if you are one of them I would suggest staying away from it but the soy powders are fine for me.

I always missed oatmeal and this was a nice recipe to find. Warms the tummy on those cold winter mornings............ or for a quick dinner even.
Enjoy
