Stuffed Turkey Tenderloin
Yield: 2 tenderloins (4 servings)
Ingredients
2 small turkey tenderloins (about 1/2 pound each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
One 4-ounce can chopped green chilies,
or 1/2 cup mild giardiniera pepper-vegetable mixture, drained
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
1.Prepare a charcoal grill or preheat the broiler.
2.Cut a pocket horizontally along the side of each tenderloin,
making sure not to cut all the way through. Season with salt and
pepper.
3.Spray a medium skillet with non-stick pan spray. Saute the onion
and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the green
chilies and cilantro.
4.Stuff the onion mixture into the pockets in the tenderloins;
secure with small metal skewers or wooden toothpicks. Brush the
tenderloins lightly with oil.
5.Grill, covered, over medium-hot coals, or boil 6 inches from the
heat source, about 8 to 10 minutes per side or until the tenderloins
are cooked through. Cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices.
