Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Turkey Tenderloin

Bacon. It is the perfect food. If I had to choose one thing to eat for the rest of my life, it would be that delicious, mouthgasming bacon. I had some turkey tenderloin and friends coming over for dinner, so I needed to figure out something that wasn't so... cliche. Sure, I could have made a stew in the crock pot, but then I saw the bacon. 



Ingredients:
Turkey tenderloin 1.5lbs
6 (or more) slices of bacon, thin slices work best
softened green onion and chive cream cheese
green onions
red bell pepper, diced
salt
pepper

Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking dish with aluminum foil. Place tenderloin on the foil and rub with salt and pepper to taste. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, onions and red bell pepper together. Carefully slice a pocket into the tenderloin and stuff with cream cheese mixture. Wrap bacon around the stuffed tenderloin. Lay with seam side down, or you can keep the bacon in place with toothpicks. Cover tenderloins with foil and cook for about 40 minutes, until turkey reads 170F. Remove toothpicks if you used them and enjoy!

This is a family approved meal! We will be adding it to our recipes for the future.
