🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 2 pieces (approximately 1 to 1.5 pounds total) Turkey tenderloins
• 1 cup Pineapple juice
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 cup (for serving, optional) Sliced fresh pineapple or mango

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

2. Place the turkey tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the turkey, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for more flavor.

3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

4. Remove the turkey tenderloins from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

5. Grill the turkey tenderloins for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.

6. Remove the turkey from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

7. Slice the tenderloins into medallions and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and accompanied by sliced pineapple or mango, if desired.
