In a food processor, add bread cubes and process until bread is broken into crumbs. Set up dredging station with 3 dishes. Place flour in first dish. In the second dish, mix together melted butter and wasabi powder. Add the breadcrumbs, chives and cheese to the third dish, mix to combine. Season the turkey with salt and pepper.
