STUFFED TURKEY BREASTS WITH APRICOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and grease baking pan.
• Pound turkey breast, to be 1/4" thin.
• Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil.
• Using tongs, briefly dip spinach leaves one at a time into the boiling water to blanch- just a few seconds per leaf or they will get soggy- they should still be mostly raw. Pat dry and set aside on a plate.
• Place chopped pinenuts onto a small plate and roll each chunk of boursin cheese in the nuts to coat and set aside.
• Lay pounded turkey breasts on top of a sheet of wax paper on your counter and season both sides of each breast with salt& pepper (to taste).
• Set dried blanched spinach leaves on top of each piece of turkey.
• Next, place a nut coated cheese chunk on top of each turkey piece in the center.
• Fold turkey ends up over the cheese to make a bundle, securing with toothpicks if needed.
• Set turkey bundles in a greased baking pan and cover with foil.
• Bake at 350F oven for 30 minutes or until the turkey is tender and cooked all the way through.
• Meanwhile, combine white wine, vinegrette dressing, and abricot jam in a small skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half (this may take several minutes).
• If the sauce is ready before the turkey, simply remove from burner and reheat slightly before pouring over the cooked turkey bundles.
• Place a cooked turkey bundle onto each serving plate, with apricot sauce ladled over the top. If you like, decorate each plate with a few sprigs of fresh green herbs.
