Ingredients

Scale

Turkey Tenderloin

  • 2 turkey tenderloins (about 1 lb each)

Marinade

  • 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried sage
  • 3 tsp fresh thyme
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Turkey: Add the turkey tenderloins to a large bowl and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure the marinade adheres well.
  2. Marinate: Pour the apple cider vinegar and maple syrup over the tenderloins. Sprinkle with coconut sugar, minced garlic, dried sage, fresh thyme, dried rosemary, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a utensil to turn the tenderloins, making sure all sides are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or for best results, overnight.
  3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  4. Bake the Turkey: Transfer the marinated tenderloins onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat moist and tender. Slice and serve fresh.

Notes

  • Marinating overnight enhances the flavors even more.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is cooked perfectly without overcooking.
  • Feel free to swap avocado oil with olive oil if preferred.
  • Leftover turkey tenderloin can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
