Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (approximately 1.5 lbs total) Turkey tenderloin
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the turkey tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the turkey, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the turkey tenderloins from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the turkey tenderloins on the grill. Grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer.
Remove the turkey from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the turkey tenderloins and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
