Turkey Tenderloin with Rosemary image

With this recipe, you season and bake a turkey tenderloin, then make a sauce-all in one dish. It's a great entrée to serve when you're in a hurry and even greater when you're the one cleaning up.

Yield Serves 4; 3 ounces turkey per serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

Cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried, crushed
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt-free lemon pepper
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1 1-pound turkey tenderloin, all visible fat discarded
1/4 cup Chicken Broth (page 50) or commercial fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon dry white wine (regular or nonalcoholic)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a large glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Put the oil, rosemary, lemon juice, lemon pepper, and garlic in the baking dish, stirring to combine. Add the turkey, turning to coat. Tuck the ends under for even cooking.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Turn over and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the turkey registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board, retaining the liquid in the baking dish and leaving the oven on. Let the turkey stand for 5 minutes to continue cooking (it should reach at least 165°F). Thinly slice diagonally across the grain. Arrange the sliced turkey on a serving plate.
  • Meanwhile, pour the broth and wine into the baking dish, scraping to dislodge any browned bits. Stir well. Return the baking dish to the oven for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the broth is heated through. Pour the sauce over the turkey slices.
  • Substitute a 1-pound pork tenderloin for the turkey. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pork registers 150°F on an instant-read thermometer, or is slightly pink in the very center. Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let stand for about 10 minutes before slicing. The pork will continue to cook during the standing time, reaching about 160°F.
  • Sprigs of rosemary are hardy and will keep for about two weeks in an airtight plastic bag in the refrigerator.
