Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (approximately 1 pound total) Turkey tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the turkey tenderloins dry with paper towels, then rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the tenderloins evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Set them aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the turkey tenderloins on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat and set the tenderloins aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and water to make the glaze.
Pour the glaze directly into the skillet that was used to sear the turkey. Simmer the glaze over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Return the turkey tenderloins to the skillet, coating them well with the glaze.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C).
Every 7-8 minutes, baste the turkey with the glaze from the pan to ensure it stays moist and flavorful.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the tenderloins rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced turkey tenderloins with a drizzle of the remaining glaze from the pan, and enjoy!
