Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place the bacon in a large, oven-safe skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and still flexible, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove any excess bacon grease from the skillet. Combine garlic powder, seasoning salt, basil, and oregano in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Wrap the pork tenderloin with the bacon strips securing with 1 or 2 toothpicks per strip of bacon. Slice the tenderloin between each bacon strip to create the medallions. Dip both sides of the medallions in seasoning mix. Melt butter and oil together in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each medallion for 4 minutes on each side.
- Place skillet into the preheated oven and bake until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 17 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, make sure the turkey medallions are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness.
- To prevent the bacon from overcooking, cook the turkey medallions over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the bacon will burn before the turkey is cooked through.
- For a crispy bacon topping, cook the bacon until it is golden brown and slightly crisp.
- To add extra flavor to the turkey medallions, marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
- If you don't have a grill pan, you can also cook the turkey medallions in a regular skillet over medium heat.
