Stuffed Turkey Tenderloin
Low Carbohydrate Recipe

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:
Prepare a charcoal grill or preheat the broiler. Cut a pocket horizontally along the side of each tenderloin, making sure not to cut all the way through. Season with salt and pepper. Spray a medium skillet with non-stick pan spray. Saute the onion and garlic until softened, about three minutes. Stir in the green chilies and cilantro.

Stuff the onion mixture into the pockets in the tenderloins; secure with small metal skewers or wooden toothpicks. Brush the tenderloins lightly with oil. Grill, covered, over medium-hot coals, or boil 6-inches from the heat source, about eight to ten minutes per side or until the tenderloins are cooked through. Cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices.

Recipe makes two tenderloins (4 servings).
