Ingredients

• 2 pieces (approximately 1.5 lbs total) Turkey tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the turkey tenderloins in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the turkey, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the turkey tenderloins from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the turkey tenderloins on the grill. Grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer.

Step 6

Remove the turkey from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Slice the turkey tenderloins and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
