In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, honey, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the turkey tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the turkey is evenly coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the turkey tenderloins from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the turkey tenderloins on the preheated grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
Remove the turkey from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
Slice the turkey tenderloins and serve immediately. Pair with grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or your favorite side dish.
