DirectionsCut turkey in 1 inch cubes.

In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper.

Melt butter or margarine.

Dip turkey pieces in butter or margarine, then roll in dry crumb mixture to coat completely.

Arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 400F for 10-12 minutes.

Check to see if turkey is no longer pink in the middle.  Serve hot or cold.

• For Gluten Free Breading use almond flour instead of bread crumbs.
