Oven Roasted Turkey Breast Tenderloin for Two
Thanksgiving can be a challenging day for those celebrating as a single person or a family of two. This recipe for a delicious garlic and herb turkey breast tenderloin allows one to celebrate the familiar flavors of Thanksgiving with half the effort it takes to prepare a whole turkey.
Equipment
- Stove
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 turkey breast tenderloin
- ½ TBSP salt kosher
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp parsley dried
- ½ tsp sage ground, and dried
- 1 tsp rosemary dried
- 1 tsp thyme dried
- ½ tsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil extra virgin
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350℉
- In a small bowl, combine the spices (salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder, brown sugar, thyme, rosemary, sage, paprika, and parsley).
- Add the spices to a ziplock bag along with ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil. Add the turkey breast tenderloin to the back and massage the herb and spice mixture all over the breast. Place into the refrigerator and allow to marinate for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, remove the turkey breast from the fridge. Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add an additional drizzle of oil to the pan before placing the turkey breast tenderloin in it and searing on all sides until a golden crust forms. This step will take roughly 5 minutes.
- Next, place your seared turkey breast on a parchment-lined sheet pan and place it in the pre-heated oven. Roast the breast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey breast reaches 165℉.
- Set the turkey on a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let this sit for roughly 5-10 minutes before slicing and plating.
