APRICOT STUFFED TURKEY TENDERLOINS
WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

1/3 cup dried apricots, chopped
2 tablespoons raisins, chopped
1 small garlic clove
2 green onions, cut 1-inch pieces
1 celery stalk, cut 1-inch pieces
2/3 cup plain dry bread cubes
1 pound turkey breast tenderloins
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup low-sodium chicken bouillon
1 tablespoon country-style (grainy) mustard
1 tablespoon honey
2 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/3 cup reduced-calorie mayonnaise

In medium-size, micro-safe bowl, combine apricots and raisins; cover with hot water. Microwave at high (100% power) 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until fruit is soft. Drain well and set aside.

Fit food processor bowl with metal blade. With processor motor running, drop garlic through feed tube and process until garlic is minced. Through feed tube, add onion and celery. Process until finely chopped; combine with fruit mixture. Add bread cubes and cover bowl with vented plastic wrap. Microwave at high (100% power) 1 1/2 minutes.

Pour sauce over tenderloins. Cover with vented plastic wrap. Microwave at medium-high (70% power) 10 to 15 minutes, rotating dish 1/4 turn every 4 minutes until internal temperature of tenderloins reaches 170 to 175 degrees and turkey is no longer pink in thickest part.
