Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º. Cut each tenderloin lengthwise, almost in half. Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Spread 1 tablespoon pesto inside each. Then insert cheese strips, dividing equally. Using toothpicks, skewer tenderloins closed. Brush each all over with 1 tablespoon pesto. Arrange tenderloins on rimmed baking sheet.

Bake tenderloins until thermometer inserted near center registers 160ºF, about 20-minutes. Slice tenderloins crosswise into 3/4" thick rounds; arrange on a serving platter. Whisk any juices and browned bits on baking to blend; spoon over turkey. Garnish with basil sprigs, if desired, and serve.
