Roast Turkey Tenderloin
This juicy roasted turkey tenderloin recipe makes a perfect oven-roasted boneless turkey breast perfect for dinner, especially a holiday!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil can also use avocado oil, canola oil or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon rosemary dried
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ pound turkey tenderloin can use between 1- 2 pounds of turkey tenderloin
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325° F. Trim and dry the turkey well with paper towls.
- To a bowl add the melted butter and the thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix until the butter and spices are well combined.
- Cover both sides of the turkey tenderloins generously with the butter mixture and a silicone brush.
- In an oven proof skillet or cast iron pan, add the oil and heat over medium heat. See notes if you don't have an oven-proof skillet.
- Add the tenderloins to the skillet. Cook for 2-4 minutes on the stovetop on each side to sear the meat until golden brown.
- Move the skillet into the heated oven. Bake the turkey for 50 to 60 minutes or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165° F when checked with a meat thermometer.
- After removing the turkey from the oven, allow it to rest on the pan or on a cutting board for 10 minutes so it stays juicy. Slice the turkey, then serve and enjoy.
Notes
I've used a cast iron skillet in this recipe but you can use any oven proof skillet that can be heated to 325 degrees.
If your skillet isn't oven proof simply transfer the meat to a metal roasting pan, ceramic casserole pan, or a baking sheet. Spray the pan generously with pan spray before transferring the turkey to the pan Pick a pan with a rim so any turkey juices don't spill in the oven.
If you prefer, you can use a poultry seasoning blend instead of the listed seasoning. Use four teaspoons of poultry seasoning combined with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
Turkey tenderloin is a piece of the turkey breast but is always boneless. Turkey breast can come on the bone, or is sometimes marketed as "boneless turkey breast." You can use a boneless turkey breast swapped in for turkey tenderloin in this recipe.
