Ingredients

Scale

Turkey Tenderloin

  • 2 turkey tenderloins (about 1.5 pounds total)

Herb Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Herb Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice. This mixture will serve as a flavorful marinade and rub for the turkey.
  3. Marinate the Turkey: Pat the turkey tenderloins dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Rub the herb marinade evenly all over the turkey tenderloins, pressing the mixture into the meat to ensure it adheres well and infuses flavor.
  4. Roast the Turkey: Place the marinated turkey tenderloins in the prepared baking dish. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) measured at the thickest part of the meat.
  5. Rest the Turkey: Remove the turkey from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Resting helps the juices redistribute within the meat, making it more tender and juicy.
  6. Serve: Slice the turkey tenderloins and serve warm. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or mashed cauliflower for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For enhanced flavor, marinate the turkey tenderloins for up to 2 hours before roasting.
  • Leftovers are perfect for sandwiches or as salad toppers.
  • Pair this dish with roasted vegetables or mashed cauliflower to keep the meal low-carb.
