Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt.
Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture all over the tenderloin evenly.
Wrap the turkey bacon slices around the pork tenderloin, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
Place the bacon-wrapped tenderloin on a roasting pan.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary over the top of the wrapped tenderloin.
Drizzle apple cider vinegar over the tenderloin, allowing it to seep into the turkey bacon.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
Switch the oven to a broil setting and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to crisp up the bacon to your preference.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows juices to redistribute within the meat.
Slice into medallions and serve immediately with your favorite vegetables or side dish.
