Ingredients
- 4turkey breast tenderloin steaks, about 1½ pounds
- Salt to taste, if desired
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- ¼pound Fontina, Gruyere or Cheddar cheese
- 3tablespoons butter
- 4thin slices prosciutto or other ham, about 2 ounces
- 2teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1tablespoon chopped shallots
- ¼pound mushrooms, thinly sliced
- ¼cup chicken broth
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat grill to high.
- Step 2
Sprinkle turkey pieces with salt and pepper.
- Step 3
Cut cheese into thin slices to fit neatly in one layer, slightly overlapping, on turkey steaks. Set aside.
- Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the turkey steaks in one layer. Add the steaks and cook about 4 minutes or until nicely browned on one side. Turn the steaks and top each with one slice of prosciutto. Sprinkle evenly with rosemary and cover closely. Cook about 3 minutes.
- Step 5
Transfer prosciutto-topped steaks to a serving dish. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and when it melts add shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add mushrooms. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes.
- Step 6
Add chicken broth and stir. Cook about 1 minute over relatively high heat.
- Step 7
Meanwhile, cover prosciutto-topped steaks with equal portions, and in one layer, of cheese. Run briefly under the broiler until cheese melts. Pour mushroom mixture over the cheese and serve hot.

I used a Cheddar-Gruyère cheese available from Trader Joe’s. This dish is fabulous. Don’t worry if it seems like there’s too much rosemary. The rosemary works perfectly, buried under the slices of cheese.
Excellent! I didn't have mushrooms, but the prosciutto and cheese with tarragon was delicious on the turkey alone.
So I made these last night and didn’t have rosemary or Fontina. Used smoked Gruyere and thyme. Delish. I will make again to make recipe as written.
