Ingredients

Scale

Turkey Tenderloin

  • 1.5 pound turkey tenderloins

Seasoning & Butter

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400˚F to prepare for roasting the turkey tenderloin.
  2. Season the Turkey: Combine all the spices—garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt—in a small bowl. Rub this spice mixture evenly on all sides of the turkey tenderloin to ensure full flavor infusion.
  3. Prepare for Roasting: Place the seasoned turkey tenderloin on a baking sheet. Cut the butter into small pats and distribute them evenly on top of the turkey to enhance moisture and flavor during roasting.
  4. Roast the Turkey: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-30 minutes. Check the internal temperature to make sure it reaches 165˚F, which guarantees the turkey is safely cooked. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your tenderloin.
  5. Rest and Serve: After removing the turkey from the oven, allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps keep the juices locked in for a moist, tender result.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches a safe internal temperature of 165˚F.
  • If you prefer, you can add fresh herbs like rosemary or sage for extra aroma.
  • Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a lighter option.
  • Letting the meat rest post-cooking is crucial for juicy slices.
