Prep tenderloins. In an airtight container that's large enough to fit the turkey tenderloins (but not too big!), place the turkey tenderloins. Pour the marinade over the tenderloins, tossing them to make sure they're fully coated in the marinade. Cover container.
24 ounces turkey tenderloins
Marinate. Place covered container in the fridge and marinate at least 1-2 hours, or up to overnight.
Cook. When ready, prepare your turkey tenderloins according to your preferred cooking technique! (See notes section below.) Always be sure to let the tenderloins rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
Various Turkey Tenderloin Cooking Methods:
Baked/ Roasted – Line a sheet pan with foil and roast at 400 for 25-30 minutes (or until the tenderloins reach 165 internally). If your oven is on for other recipes, you can also cook longer at 350 or a little shorter at 425. Let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Pan Seared – remove the tenderloins from the marinade and pat try. Get an oven-safe skillet hot, adding a little oil, and sear tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Transfer the oven to a 350 degree oven and finish cooking for 15-20 minutes, or until the tenderloins reach 165. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slow Cooker – Place the turkey tenderloins and the marinade in the slow cooker and cover. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. The turkey will be done when it reaches 165 internally. Again, let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Air Fryer – cooking at a higher temp, like in the air fryer, can help lock in more of the juices. To air fry turkey tenderloins, transfer them to the air fryer basket, and then air fry at 400 for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through. The tenderloins are done when they reach 165 internally — let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing!
Grill – for grilled turkey tenderloins, preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. Place the turkey tenderloins on the grates and grill about 7-10 minutes per side, or until a meat thermometer shows the turkey has reached 165 degrees. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
