Marinated Turkey Tenderloin

This recipe for Marinated Turkey Tenderloin is super simple and full of flavor! A quick combo of a handful of ingredients and dinner is served! Perfect for an epic turkey sandwich too!

Hey there folks. If you’re having a cozy little dinner for two or four this Easter today’s Marinated Turkey Tenderloin would be the perfect option. It’s a super quick and easy recipe for a delicious marinade that’s a fabulous way to jazz up a plain old turkey tenderloin and give it loads of flavor.

When you buy turkey tenderloins at the market they usually come in vacuum-packed packages of about 1 1/2 pounds. One 1 1/2-lb. package is usually enough for Tom and I for dinner and that leaves us with enough slices for some yummy turkey sandwiches with the leftovers.

How to Make the Marinade for the Turkey Breast Tenderloins

First, you’ll grab a small bowl and whisk together all your marinade ingredients…some olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, fresh chopped rosemary and salt and pepper.

You can either add your turkey breast tenderloins to a shallow baking dish or a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the tenderloins, turning to coat. You will want to refrigerate for at least 4 hours for maximum flavor.

After the tenderloins have marinated long enough you will remove them from the bag or dish , discarding the leftover marinade in the bag and place the tenderloins in an oven-proof baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for roughly 35 minutes or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. I like to let mine sit on the counter for about  5-10 minutes before slicing.

This marinated turkey tenderloin would be delicious served with my One-Pot Cheesy Potatoes, my Holiday Green Beans and my Soft Everything Dinner Rolls if you have leftovers for small sandwiches!

Prep Time 10 minutes mins

Cook Time 35 minutes mins

Marinating Time 4 hours hrs

Total Time 4 hours hrs 45 minutes mins

Ingredients  

• 1 24-oz. package turkey tenderloin, there will be two pieces in the package
• 4 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
• 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Instructions 

• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Add your turkey tenderloins to a Ziploc bag. Pour in the marinade and toss to coat. Seal the Ziploc and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees 15 minutes before removing the tenderloins from the fridge. Place the tenderloins in an oven-proof baking dish and discard the Ziploc bag with any remaining marinade.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees using a meat thermometer. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

You will need to cook your tenderloins until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165°F using a meat thermometer.

As I mentioned above, the 1 1/2-lb. package of turkey tenderloins will give you two tenderloin pieces and it can feed four people or you can feed two a main meal and use the remainder for turkey sandwiches. I love to have extra for sandwiches.
