Ingredients

• 2 pieces (approximately 1.5 lbs total) turkey tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup chicken or turkey broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Pat the turkey tenderloins dry with paper towels. Place them on a cutting board or a shallow plate.

Step 4

Brush the marinade generously over the turkey tenderloins, coating them evenly on all sides.

Step 5

Transfer the marinated turkey tenderloins to the prepared baking dish. Pour the chicken or turkey broth into the bottom of the dish; this will help keep the meat moist while baking.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes covered.

Step 7

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey tenderloins reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.

Step 8

Once done, remove the tenderloins from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help retain the juices.

Step 9

Slice the turkey tenderloins into medallions and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
