Keto turkey with cream cheese sauce

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 tbsp butter, divided

1 1/2 lbs turkey breast tenderloin

1 cup heavy whipping cream

6 oz. cream cheese

1 tbsp tamari soy sauce

salt and pepper, for seasoning

1 1/2 oz. small capers (non-pareil), strained

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Over medium heat, melt one-third of the butter in a large oven-proof frying pan. Generously season the turkey tenderloin with salt and pepper, and then fry for about 8-10 minutes, until golden brown on all sides.

Carefully move the hot pan with tenderloin, onto the middle oven rack. Roast uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until the tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C). Place on a serving dish and tent with foil.

Add another third of the butter, along with any turkey drippings into a small saucepan. Over medium heat, stir until the butter has melted. Add the cream and cream cheese. Stir together and bring to a light boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered, until thickened. Stir in the soy sauce, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Melt the remaining butter in a small frying pan, over medium-high heat. Quickly sauté the capers until crispy.

Slice the turkey into 1/2" (15 cm) slices. Place on a serving platter, and top with the creamy cream cheese sauce and fried capers.
