Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Two small turkey breast tenderloins (about 1 pound total), sliced horizontally in half to make 4 pieces
  • 1/2 cup leeks (white part only), sliced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (or water)
  • 1/2-cup reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon snipped fresh tarragon or 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1/4 cup nonfat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard

3.Stir in the wine, broth and tarragon. Raise heat, bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink in the center. Preferably, use a food thermometer to test the center of the meat which should be a minimum of 165º F to determine doneness. For more information on correct food temperatures, see our Danger Zone thermometer.
