Ingredients
  

  • 500 g turkey filet mignon
  • 200 g Boursin cheese or spreadable cheese
  • 150 g diced chicken instead of bacon lardons
  • 150 g grated cheese Emmental or mozzarella
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 200 ml crème fraîche
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Kitchen twine
  • Skillet or cocotte
  • Oven-safe dish
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Grater

Method
 

  1. Slice the turkey filet mignon lengthwise to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  2. Spread half of the Boursin cheese inside the pocket and close the turkey, tying it securely with kitchen twine.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the stuffed turkey on all sides until golden-brown.
  4. Remove the turkey and in the same pan, soften chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent.
  5. Add diced chicken and cook until lightly browned, then stir in the remaining Boursin and crème fraîche until the sauce thickens.
  6. Return the turkey to the pan, spoon the sauce over it, sprinkle with grated cheese, and add thyme.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes until the cheese bubbles and turns golden.

Notes

Use damp hands to handle Boursin cheese for easier spreading. Substitute chicken breast for turkey if preferred. For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with mushrooms or zucchini. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Before reheating, sprinkle a little water or broth to keep the dish moist.
