Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (approximately 1 pound total) Turkey tenderloins
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Place the turkey tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the turkey, ensuring all sides are coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Remove the turkey from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the tenderloins on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the used marinade.
Bake the turkey tenderloins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
