Cups - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the herbs and seasonings.
    1 tablespoon fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon fresh sage, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Use paper towels to pat the tenderloins dry.
  • Season on all sides with the seasoning mixture.
  • Heat a cast iron or oven proof skillet and the avocado oil on the stove on medium-high heat.
    1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • Once the skillet and oil are hot, sear the tenderloins for about 2-3 minutes on all sides.
    2 1.5 pound turkey tenderloins
  • After it's sear, move the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-23 minutes or until the internal tempeature reaches 160 F.
  • Remove from the oven and rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.

Notes

  • To get a nice sear on your tenderloins, ensure your cast iron skillet is nice and hot, so turkey browns. 
  • If you use a baking dish, spray it well with nonstick cooking spray. 
  • Cooking times can vary by oven, so I recommend using a meat thermometer to check for doneness to prevent under-cooked food.
  • I made this recipe with fresh herbs; you can use dried. However, they are stronger, so you will need to use less.
  • If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, sear the tenderloins in a skillet and then move to a greased stainless steel baking dish.
