Oven Roasted Turkey Tenderloin Recipe

turkey breast tenderloins ((about 1½ pounds))

olive oil

apple cider vinegar

honey

dijon mustard

garlic cloves, crushed

thyme ((or 6 sprigs fresh thyme))

rosemary

sea salt

pepper

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, garlic, herbs, and seasonings until evenly combined.

Place the turkey in the bowl (or in a gallon-sized Ziplock bag) with the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours to allow the flavors to infuse with the turkey tenderloins.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (roast or bake setting). Spray roasting pan or shallow casserole dish with cooking oil.

Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade. Add turkey breast tenderloins to the roasting pan or dish. If desired, add a hearty vegetable, like potatoes to the roasting pan with the turkey tenderloin.

Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Turkey tenders are done when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin, registers 165 degrees F. Remove the turkey from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes, before slicing and serving.

Turkey Tenderloin (+ marinade) - an insanely juicy and flavorful turkey tenderloin recipe (or turkey breast tenderloin)- so delicious!

Turkey Tenderloin

Turkey Marinade

Turkey Seasoning

(2) 1lb turkey tenderloins (or turkey breast tenderloins)

olive oil (or ghee)

butter

Combine your Turkey Marinade ingredients. Place turkey tenderloins in a small pan or silicone bag. Pour marinade over top and ensure turkey is fully coated. Place in refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.

Remove from marinade (don&#8217;t shake off extra) and place on a plate. Cover in Turkey Seasoning and rub all over.

Bring a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add olive oil or ghee and swirl to coat the pan. Add turkey tenderloin and sear on all sides (about 1-2 minutes per side).

Turn off stove and carefully move skillet to oven, middle rack and uncovered.

Let cook 20-30 minutes or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. at it&#8217;s thickest part using an internal meat thermometer.  Baste once or twice during cooking with melted butter or ghee. Once you use up the melted butter, you can baste with the pan juices (there won&#8217;t be a ton, but there should be enough to baste with a brush).

Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes. Slice and serve!

Place the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for 17 minutes (see notes for larger tenderloins cooking times)*.

Check the internal temperature again after it has rested to make sure that it reaches 165F.
