About turkey tenderloin

Turkey tenderloin is a cut of turkey located under the breast. This hidden piece of meat is incredibly tender because it is from an underused part of the bird. Additionally, the tenderloin of a turkey is low in fat. Some people compare the flavor of turkey tenderloin to chicken tenderloin, but turkey tenderloin has a unique flavor that is comparable to your Thanksgiving dinner. While chicken tenderloin is traditionally used to make chicken strips, turkey tenderloin can be used in countless dishes and recipes.

Many people enjoy the taste of turkey breast, but they don't want to go through the hassle of cooking an entire bird. If you're craving turkey breast, but you want an easier alternative, pick turkey tenderloin for your next meal. This cut of turkey is typically sold in eight-ounce or one-pound packages. These sizes are enough to feed your family or a small dinner party, respectively. Preparing and cooking turkey tenderloin is simple and quick, and the flavor of this meat is distinct, mouth-watering, and sure to satisfy your appetite.

Turkey tenderloin cooking tips

Because turkey tenderloin is lean meat without a lot of fat, it is prone to overcooking. When you overcook turkey tenderloin, it loses its incredible tenderness and instead comes out chewy and dry. If you want to cook the perfect turkey tenderloin, cook the meat until it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can cook turkey tenderloin in a variety of ways. If you want to roast your turkey in the oven, set your oven to 375 F and cook until the meat reaches 165 F. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Another ideal cooking method for turkey tenderloin is grilling. After seasoning your turkey tenderloin, grill it on medium-high heat for five minutes per side. After you grill your meat, let it rest for five minutes so the juices can be absorbed back into the meat. If you need to keep your turkey tenderloin warm while it rests, you can tent the meat with aluminum foil.

Brining your turkey tenderloin is another cooking option. Because turkey tenderloin can sometimes taste dry when overcooked, brining helps preserve the moisture levels of the meat. When brining, allow the meat to sit for at least two hours in your mixture. It can sit for up to six hours before it needs to be cooked.

Turkey tenderloins can be served on their own with a side of vegetables, or you can include turkey tenderloins in recipes. You can cook the tenderloins whole, or you can slice them crosswise into medallions. If you want to make turkey tenders, slice them lengthwise and bread them. You can even make yourself a turkey tenderloin stir-fry by chopping your meat into chunks. Another tasty way to serve turkey tenderloins is stuffed with your choice of cheese, eggs, herbs, or even sausage.
