Looking for a quick ‘n easy festive holiday turkey dish but don’t want to go to the trouble to roast a whole bird? Or perhaps you would love to find a tasty new weeknight dinner that comes together FAST?
MPM Dinner in a Flash Recipe Collection
Try roasting just the tenderloins! While plain turkey tenders can be a tad boring, by topping them with my recently introduced to you sweet and tangy Apple-Pear Cranberry Chutney you can easily create a new holiday and family favorite.
Turkey tenderloins cook rather quickly (and certainly the chutney can be made ahead), which makes this dish another great MPM Dinner in a Flash!

Instructions

Turkey Tenderloins
In a small bowl, combine all marinade ingredients.
Place turkey tenderloins in baking dish. Pour marinade over tenderloins, turning to evenly coat. If time allows, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours (or up to 24) to allow flavors to mingle. Occasionally, turn tenderloins over and baste with marinade.
Bake tenderloins covered for about 25 minutes or until cooked through. (165 degrees F.) Baking times may vary depending on thickness. Halfway through cooking, baste with pan juices.
Allow tenderloins to rest, covered for 5 minutes. Slice according to preference.
Arrange sliced turkey on a platter. Drizzle with pan juices. Serve with Apple-Pear Cranberry Chutney, either on the side or as a topping. (warmed if desired)

Notes
Notes
Turkey Tenderloins: are cut from the area located under the breast. They are very tender and are 100% useable with no waste. Be careful not to overcook or the meat will become dry. Read more about turkey tenderloins including additional cooking methods here.
Serving Ideas: delicious served with green beans, asparagus, brown rice couscous, wild rice or Crunchy Quinoa. Leftovers would also be great in a sandwich along with the chutney!
Got extra chutney? Use as a yummy topping for chicken or for baked brie. Also, delicious spooned over vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream!
Timesaver! Make the chutney up to 2 weeks ahead. Store covered in the refrigerator until needed.
