- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika

- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
- Start by preheating the oven to 375°F.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
- In a bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and whisk vigorously.
Step 3: Coat the turkey tenderloin
- Place the turkey tenderloins in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, and let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4: heat a cast iron skillet
- Place a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of cooking oil. Once hot, sear the tenderloins on each side for 2-3 minutes until they form a golden crust.
Step 5: Apply Dry Rub
- Transfer the seared tenderloins to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Generously apply the dry rub to all sides of the turkey.
Step 6: Bake
- Once the oven is preheated, place the turkey and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the turkey's internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 7: Serve
- Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure it remains moist and juicy. Serve with turkey gravy and your favorite sides.
Notes
- This turkey tenderloin recipe is versatile and can be tailored to suit any season. Consider grilling the tenderloins for a smoky flavor during the summer months, or incorporate seasonal vegetables into your marinade.
- In the fall and winter, warming spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can be added to the rub for a festive touch.
