Post by: hotspur on May 04, 2019, 08:34:34 PM
Going thru old gobbler recipe section and was wondering how do you like to cook the breast tenderloin?

Cut it into nuggets and fry it the way Chick-fil-A does it.  Google copy cat Chick-Fil-A. Everyone will love it.

If you want to try something a little different and delicious:

Take the tenderloin and remove the large tendon with a fillet knife.  Extend the cut you have made to remove the tendon to open the tenderloin up from end to end. Lay three 8 inch pieces of cooking twine spaced at 2 inch intervals across a plate.  Lay one slice of prosciutto on  the twine then lay the tenderloin on top of the prosciutto.  Take on slice of muenster cheese  and divide into fourths so you have four strips as long as the slice is wide and place these in the cavity in the tenderloin.  Place several slices of the mushroom on top of the cheese.  Cover with another slice of prosciutto on top of the tenderloin and tie the package up with the twine.  Place on an elevated rack in a baking pan and bake at 350 until done (DO NOT OVER COOK).  It will be done when the cheese starts to drip out or just a little longer.  I usually buy a 5 ounce package of sliced shitake mushrooms and saute whatever I do not use (the majority of the package) in butter and place over the turkey on the serving plate.  This sounds a lot more complicated than it is,  Serve with fresh asparagus and allow one tenderloin per serving.

Thinly sliced on a frozen pizza, spruced up with additional cheese, mushrooms, and bell peppers is great.  I also like cooking the meat in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil and throwing it into those ceasar salad kits.

One tenderloin per serving???  You on a diet?

I assume you mean the filleted turkey breast?

My wife is Indonesian, and her aunt made our last bird into a curry dish that was great...

I often cube it, marinate it, and make it into turkey shish kebab.  Put a piece of tomato on one side and an union on the other of each piece of meat to help keep the meat more most while grilling over the BB-Q...

I have baked cubed breasts using cream of mushroom soup in a casserole dish...  Not bad.

Breaded and fried is always good and easy to make.

I tried the recipe Chef Aaron Neale used on this THP video from last year and it's FINE! I've done it 3 more times since the first and it was just as good. It's simple and a nice little change up.
