Serves: 2

Ingredients

• ½ cup cooked broccoli
• ¼ cup finely chopped parsley
• ½ cup wheat-free breadcrumbs or crushed crackers
• ¼ cup fine oat bran
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/3 cup chopped apricots
• 2 tbsp water or low-sodium chicken stock
• 2 pork tenderloins
• 1 tbsp black peppercorns, coarsely chopped
• 1 tsp dried sage
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• Sea salt

Directions

1. In a medium bowl combine broccoli, bread crumbs, oat bran, walnuts, parsley, chopped apricots and 2 tablespoons water or low-sodium chicken stock. Mix well and set aside.
2. Place pork tenderloins on cutting board and butterfly them – cut them in half lengthwise almost all the way through but not quite. Using the blade of a large wide knife, such as a cleaver, flatten the pork tenderloins. Spoon the stuffing into each of the tenderloins or turkey if using.
3. Fold one side over the other and tie with kitchen twine, starting at the end of the tenderloin or turkey breast and moving to the other end. Sprinkle with dried herbs, black peppercorns and sea salt. Place in shallow casserole dish. Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven for 25 to 40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F. Remove meat from oven and cover with foil. Let stand for 5 minutes.
4. Serve pork or turkey with unsweetened applesauce. It is delicious!
