Stuffed Turkey Tenderloin - total time 1 hour


Apparently we didn't get enough turkey after Thanksgiving!  Turkey tenderloin is so much easier to cook than a full turkey though.  I need to remember this for next Thanksgiving...

1 turkey tenderloin (or two breasts)
.5 cup sliced gruyere
2 cups spinach
4 garlic cloves
1 small onion
2 tbsp butter, divided
salt and pepper

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Saute onion and garlic in pan with one tablespoon of butter.  Add ripped spinach and cook until wilted down.  Cut a deep slice into the tenderloin to create a pocket to stuff.
2.  Stuff the tenderloins with the slices of cheese and hot spinach mixture.  Hold together with toothpicks or wrap with baking twine.  Melt another tablespoon of butter in pan and turn up heat to medium-high, season with salt and pepper, and sear turkey on both sides.  Transfer seared turkey into a casserole dish and bake for 30 minutes.
