With all the fresh Spinach in my garden I decided to create something with it. Here is what I came up with.

By The Gourmet Farm Girl
 |
5-6 cloves roasted garlic
2 slices smoked bacon (cut into pieces)
4 Turkey Tenderloins fillets
1/2 tablespoon Gourmet Farm Girl House seasoning
4 slices Smoked ham sliced thin
1 14.5 oz can artichoke hearts (drained)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups fresh spinach (packed)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ sweet onion chopped
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
½ cup red wine
Kitchen twine cut into 8 pieces 8 inches long
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Cut one head of garlic in half; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt; wrap in foil and bake
for 20-30 minutes.
In a large skillet cook the bacon till just brown; remove the bacon pieces and set aside. Turn off heat; remove the bacon fat and set skillet aside.
While garlic roasts; place turkey fillets in a plastic bag and pound out with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin. Remove and season; place a slice of ham, several artichokes hearts, 1-2 tablespoons of cheese, a few crumbles of the bacon and a small bunch of spinach on top of each fillet. Gently roll; tie each roll with two pieces of kitchen twine.
Remove 5-6 cloves from the head of garlic and gently smash
Add the vegetable oil to the skillet and return to medium high heat; place the turkey rolls in the skillet and brown on both sides; 2-3 minutes. Remove turkey rolls and place in a 9×12 glass casserole dish sprayed with vegetable oil.
Add to the skillet the chopped onions; sauté for 1-2 minutes; add tomatoes, any remaining drained artichoke hearts, roasted garlic and cook for 5-7 minutes. Pour mixture over the turkey rolls; deglaze the pan with the wine and pour over the turkey and vegetables.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
