Herb Crusted Stuffed Turkey Tenderloin

Herb Crusted Stuffed Turkey Tenderloin

If you're as tired of packaged and marinated Turkey Tenderloin as I am, this is a great alternative.
It is tasty and easy to prepare, and when done it is as juicy as brined turkey.  Enhanced by the stuffing combo of flavors of Pancetta, Portabella and Baby Swiss Cheese make it a flavorful choice.

INGREDIENTS

1 Turkey Tenderloin
1/2 # Pancetta
Baby Swiss Cheese (to taste)
4 Medium Portabella Mushrooms
2 Green Onions
Handful of fresh Italian Parsley
Juice of one Lemon
