Queso Quesadilla Stuffed Turkey Breasts
WHAT YOU NEED
- ½ package (5 oz.) Cacique® Queso Quesadilla
- 2 large boneless and skinless turkey breasts, halved
- 4 cooked ham slices
- ¼ tsp. ground pepper
- Ground oregano
- Onion powder
- SAUCE
- 1 cup Cacique® Crema Mexicana
- 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
- 2 Tbsp. golden mushroom soup mix
- 6-8 mushrooms, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. flour
- ½ cup milk
- 1 Tbsp. chili flakes (more can be added for additional heat)
HOW TO MAKE IT
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Sprinkle each half of turkey breast with onion powder, pepper, and oregano. Make a slit on the side of the turkey breast, resembling a pocket big enough to stuff a thick strip of cheese and a strip of ham (but don't stuff yet).
- Place in baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Carefully, place a piece of ham and cheese in each turkey breast. Fold the turkey breasts back together. Bake for another 5-7 minutes.
- Sauce: In a small saucepan melt 2 tablespoons butter or margarine. Add mushrooms and garlic. Cook until tender. Stir in soup mix and flour and continue to cook for 2 more minutes. Add milk and Crema Mexicana and reduce heat. Simmer for 6-8 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid lumps until sauce thickens. Add chili flakes. Stir and pour over turkey breasts.
- This is a family favorite, a treasured recipe that has been passed down through the generations, straight from Maria's Cocina.
