Ingredients
Scale
Turkey Tenderloin
- 2 turkey tenderloins (about 1½ pounds total)
Marinade and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or sheet pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Turkey: Pat the turkey tenderloins dry with paper towels to ensure even browning and place them in the prepared baking dish.
- Make Herb Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried parsley, paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to create a well-blended herb marinade.
- Coat Turkey: Rub the herb marinade evenly over all sides of the turkey tenderloins, making sure they are fully coated with the mixture for maximum flavor.
- Roast Turkey: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure the turkey is cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice the tenderloins, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and serve.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, marinate the turkey in the herb mixture for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator before roasting.
- This recipe pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
