2 turkey tenderloins, approximately 1.5 pounds total
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is warming up, line a small baking sheet or a roasting pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil to prevent the meat from sticking.
Pat the turkey tenderloins dry with paper towels, which is a key step to ensure the seasoning sticks and the meat browns properly. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and smoked paprika. Rub this herb mixture evenly over all sides of the turkey tenderloins until they are well coated.
Place the seasoned tenderloins in the prepared pan. Roast in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of the meat, so it is best to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. The turkey is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the turkey has reached the safe temperature, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent the meat loosely with foil and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring every slice is moist and flavorful. Slice the tenderloins against the grain and serve warm.
