Wild Turkey Roll Ups Stuffed with Dates and Goat Cheese
Ingredients
- ½ pound wild turkey breast
- 4 ounces local goat cheese softened
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 9 large dates
- kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- On a cutting board, slice the wild turkey breast into 1-inch strips across the grain. Then pound the strips to about 1/4-inch thickness to tenderize. Cut into pieces about 4 inches long. Salt and pepper both sides.
- Place the turkey in a smoking hot cast iron skillet, brown for about 1 minute, and then turn and cook for about 2 more minutes or until cooked through. (Meat temperature should be 160 degrees.) Remove and allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, beat the goat cheese until creamy. Stir in heavy cream until mixture is smooth.
- Slit each date lengthwise and remove the pit. Fill each date with goat cheese mixture. Wrap a turkey slice around the date and secure with a toothpick.
- Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper before serving.
