Turkey Cordon Bleu

Naps kept trying to interfere with me making this dinner but it was worth the wait for this combination plus the buttermilk gravy that I made to go with it.  

Turkey Cordon Bleu with Buttermilk Gravy

2 turkey tenderloin breasts
deli sliced honey ham
Provolone cheese slices

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/4 tsp paprika

1 cup Panko bread crumbs

Pound turkey breasts until 1/4" thick.  Place slices of ham and Provolone cheese on top, roll up and tie with bakers string or secure with toothpicks.  Have 2 bowls and one plate ready.  In the first bowl, have the beaten eggs.  In the second bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper.  Place the Panko crumbs evenly on a dinner plate.  Dip the tied turkey breasts in the eggs, then roll in the flour mixture and finally roll on the plate before putting in a hot frying pan that has 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in it.  Brown on all sides before putting in a greased baking dish.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350°.  Bake until  the internal temperature reaches 165°.  Remove from pan and allow to rest.  

Pour pan drippings back into frying pan and add the following~

1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp flour
