This turkey tenderloin is a great alternative to making a whole bird! If you’re having a small Thanksgiving or just looking for a delicious cold-weather meal, this baked turkey tenderloin is for you. Turkey tenderloins are the boneless skinless part of the turkey breast. This is a very tender cut of meat (if cooked correctly!) because turkeys are typically not exercised frequently.
Like other cuts of poultry, turkey tenderloin does a really great job taking on the flavor of whatever you season or marinate it with. Honestly, this cut of turkey is similar to chicken breast which is takes on flavor in a similar way. Our turkey seasoning is the perfect combination of dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and smoked paprika. It is so delicious! Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
