Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Turkey tenderloin
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cups Orange juice
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoons Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse the turkey tenderloins under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Spray the crock pot insert with nonstick cooking spray or lightly oil it.
Add the fresh cranberries, orange juice, chicken broth, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rosemary to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
Nestle the turkey tenderloins into the cranberry mixture, ensuring they are covered partially by the liquid.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, carefully remove the turkey tenderloins from the crock pot and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.
To thicken the cranberry sauce, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the remaining liquid in the crock pot until combined.
Turn the crock pot to high and let the sauce thicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve the sliced turkey tenderloin with the cranberry sauce drizzled on top. Pair with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
