Honey Mustard and Herb Baked Turkey Tenderloin:
*This recipe is SO easy to make and requires few ingredients. Great to prepare ahead on Sunday for protein addition to dinner during the week!
Ingredients:
-1 ¼ pound turkey tenderloin (boneless and skinless)
-6 Tbsp. honey
-4 Tbsp. yellow mustard
-1 Tbsp. lemon zest (use a washed organic lemon!!!)
-1 to 2 Tbsp. dried rosemary
-1 to 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
-Sea salt and pepper to dust tenderloins
-Olive Oil nonstick cooking spray (Really like Pam’s All Natural Nonstick olive oil cooking spray…found at Publix)
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 400 F and line a large baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Then spray the surface of your foil with the nonstick spray.
- Place your tenderloin(s) on your aluminum foil lined baking pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl stir your mustard and honey until well combined.
- In a separate bowl zest your lemon and combine with your rosemary.
- After zesting your lemon, squeeze 1 to 2 Tbsp. of the juice onto your tenderloin.
- Then pour your honey mustard mixture covering the surface of your tenderloins.
- Finally, cover your tenderloins in your rosemary and lemon zest mixture.
- Pop in your preheated oven for 40 minutes and keep your oven fan on! I say this because your honey mustard that runs off the tenderloin will become charred. Don’t worry, your tenderloin won’t! It will remain tender and amazingly moist on the inside.
- Let cool and slice into ½ inch medallions. An electric knife makes this really easy…hint, hint. Enjoy!
