Baked Turkey with Madeira Cream Sauce

1-1/2 pounds turkey breast fillets salt and pepper
1/2 cup butter
1 large onion, finely sliced
2 boxes frozen asparagus
2 yellow squash, sliced
1 pound sliced ham
1 pound sliced Swiss cheese
Sauce:
2/3 cup Madeira
1 cup light cream
salt and pepper
sprigs fresh parsley for garnish

Season filets and set aside. Melt butter in large skillet. Add onion and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add asparagus and squash. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to glaze with butter. Drain vegetables. Grill turkey in skillet on both sides. Add Madeira to skillet and flambe. When flames have died, remove turkey and place on top of draining vegetables. Return skillet to heat and add cream and collected vegetable juices to make sauce. Stir until boiling, and boil until syrupy consistency, about 2 minutes. You may add seasoning if needed.
