Turkey Wrapped Turkey with Sundried Tomatoes & Pancetta

Prep Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 15 minutes 36 pieces servings

Ingredients

1 Granny's Seasoned, Boneless Turkey Breast
2 tsp | 10 ml olive oil
1/2 tsp | 2.5 ml cracked black pepper
1 tbsp | 15 ml olive oil
3 tbsp | 45 ml red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup | 65 ml pancetta (or other good qaulity bacon), diced
1/2 cup | 125 ml garlic, finely chopped
4 tbsp | 60 ml sundried tomatoes, chopped
4 tbsp | 60 ml flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 tbsp | 30 ml basil pesto
3 tbsp | 45 ml fresh Parmesan cheese, shaved

Directions

Remove skin from turkey breast. Cut breast meat into 1 inch squares that are approximately 1/2 an inch thick.
Using a kitchen mallet, or the flat bottom of a pan, pound breast meat between sheets of plastic wrap until the meat is paper thin. Any extra turkey is great for a stir fry.
In a large skillet sauté onion and pancetta in a tbsp olive oil over medium heat until lightly browned.
Add garlic sauté for an additional minute, then leave to cool.
Dice remaining turkey breast meat, then add sundried tomatoes, 3/4 of Parmesan cheese, parsley and cooled pancetta mixture.
Place a tsp of the mixture in the middle of each pounded piece of turkey. Place turkey pieces (evenly spacing them) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes, or until cooked through to the centre to an internal temperature of 170°F (77°C).
Serve with a small amount of pesto on top of each piece and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
