Holiday Roast Turkey Cordon Bleu Recipes

TURKEY CORDON BLEU

Steps:

• 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.
