Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 turkey tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Olive oil
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (2-inch pieces)
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and flesh sliced from seed
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup plain yogurt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Season turkey tenderloins all over with salt, black pepper and cumin.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, add about 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil. Once heated, add the turkey tenderloins and saute on 1 side. Add the potatoes to the pan, flip the turkey, when ready and place the pan into the preheated oven. Roast turkey and potatoes for about 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 170 to 180 degrees F. Let turkey stand 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Meanwhile, in a blender combine mangoes, mint, lime juice, mustard, and ginger. Puree until blended. Add yogurt and puree until smooth. Serve 1/2 of the turkey with all of the sauce spooned over top and all of the sweet potatoes.
Reserve remaining turkey for Thai Turkey and Rice.

Tips:

Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes.
Scrub the sweet potatoes well before roasting to remove any dirt or debris.
Use a sharp knife to pierce the sweet potatoes several times before roasting. This will help them cook more evenly.
Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Serve the sweet potatoes hot or warm. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course.
