Turkey can be a tricky one to get just right. Preparing a full sized bird takes a lot of time (and oven space!) and requires a delicate balancing act to make sure it's cooked all the way through before the whole thing dries out!
But with our turkey tenderloins, you can take all the hassle out of the equation and fall in love with this incredible meat all over again!

Using only the finest quality breast meat, our tenderloins are plump and juicy, the way turkey was meant to be. As an added bonus, they take far less time, won't take up your entire oven, and with our simple cooking instructions, are guaranteed to come out perfectly every time!

This recipe is all about making turkey the dinner table hero that it was born to be. Pan seared and then finished in the oven, with a garlic herb coating and a rich and flavourful gravy, you'll never make boring, dry turkey again!

2 cups milk
2 tbsp flour

Directions

Mix brine ingredients together and pour over defrosted turkey tenderloins
Leave in brine for minimum of 30 mins (can leave up to 12 hours for added flavour)
Remove turkey tenderloins from brine and pat dry (the dryer the better to allow seasoning to stick)

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F)
Preheat butter in heavy, oven safe skillet (preferable), or a regular skillet and later transfer to oven dish
Sear turkey tenderloins for 8-10 mins on one side until golden, then flip and sear other side for another 7 mins
Once seared on both sides, add garlic, orange juice and herbs
Pour stock over turkey tenderloins and dab butter all around skillet
Cover oven safe skillet with foil and roast in preheated oven for 25-35 mins (depending on thickness of tenderloins) until oven thermometer reads 76°C (170°F) in thickest part of meat
If transferring to oven dish, remove turkey from skillet, place in oven dish along with sauce/drippings from skillet, cover oven dish with foil and roast
When done, place turkey tenderloins on cutting board and cover with foil while you make the gravy
Mix the milk and flour in a jar, pour into skillet and combine with drippings/sauce (if using an oven safe dish, transfer all ingredients back to the same searing pan you used at first)
Bring to boil and use potato masher to mash all ingredients together. Cook gravy for 15 minutes simmering on low heat
Strain gravy into bowl
Pour gravy over turkey tenderloins and enjoy!
