TROPICAL TURKEY TENDERLOINS
I adopted this recipe from Zaar and after making it the way it was originally posted; I altered it so it would have more of a tropical flavor. The salsa really makes this quick and easy dish look and taste wonderful. I served the turkey with a side of roasted sweet potatoes and a salad. The leftovers make the best turkey salad sandwiches I have ever eaten - so make more than you will eat if you want sandwiches the next day!

Tips:
- Choose high-quality turkey tenderloins: Look for tenderloins that are firm and have a light pink color. Avoid any tenderloins that are bruised or have a slimy texture.
- Brine the turkey tenderloins: Brining helps to keep the turkey tenderloins moist and flavorful. To brine the tenderloins, dissolve 1/2 cup of salt and 1/2 cup of sugar in 1 gallon of water. Submerge the tenderloins in the brine solution and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight.
- Sear the turkey tenderloins: Searing the tenderloins helps to create a golden brown crust and lock in the juices. To sear the tenderloins, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tenderloins and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
- Roast the turkey tenderloins: After searing, transfer the tenderloins to a roasting pan. Roast the tenderloins in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the turkey tenderloins rest: Before slicing and serving, let the tenderloins rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Autumn turkey tenderloins are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With their juicy and flavorful meat, turkey tenderloins are a great option for a healthy and satisfying meal. Whether you choose to brine, sear, or roast the tenderloins, there are many ways to prepare them to perfection. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give autumn turkey tenderloins a try!
