TROPICAL TURKEY TENDERLOINS



Tropical Turkey Tenderloins image

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!

Sweet and Sour Turkey Tenderloin image

A nice, light turkey tenderloin dinner I created one night with things I had on hand. Serve over brown rice.

Provided by cookinme

Categories     uncategorized

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup apricot preserves
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
cooking spray
1 pound turkey tenderloins
2 cups thinly sliced carrots
1 large onion, chopped
½ cup red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Drain pineapple chunks and set fruit aside. Combine pineapple juice with chicken broth, apricot preserves, vinegar, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
  • Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add tenderloins to the cold skillet and place over medium heat. Cook until browned, 7 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove tenderloins to a plate.
  • Add carrots and onion to the skillet, adding a little cooking spray or broth if needed. Saute for 3 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and saute for 1 more minute.
  • Pour in pineapple juice mixture and return tenderloins to the skillet. Cover and simmer over low heat until tenderloins are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove tenderloins from the skillet and slice; keep warm.
  • Stir cornstarch and water together in a small dish until smooth. Add to the skillet with the reserved pineapple chunks. Cook over medium heat until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve over sliced tenderloins.

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!
