Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs turkey tenderloins
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil (for searing)

Instructions:

  1. Whisk the marinade. Combine the 1/4 cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Note: This creates a thick paste that will cling to the meat.
  2. Coat the turkey. Place the tenderloins in a glass dish or a zip top bag and pour the marinade over them. Note: Ensure every inch is covered for maximum flavor infusion.
  3. Marinate the meat. Let the turkey sit for at least 15 minutes. Note: If you have time, 30-60 minutes in the fridge is even better.
  4. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it reach full temperature. Note: A hot oven ensures the turkey starts cooking the moment it hits the rack.
  5. Heat the skillet. Place a cast iron skillet over medium high heat with 1 teaspoon of oil. Note: Wait until the oil is shimmering and just starting to wisps of smoke.
  6. Sear the turkey. Place the tenderloins in the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until a deep mahogany crust forms.
  7. Transfer to oven. Move the entire skillet into the center of the oven. Note: Be careful, the handle will be extremely hot from the stovetop.
  8. Bake for precision. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) on a thermometer.
  9. Remove and rest. Take the pan out and move the turkey to a cutting board. Let rest for 5-10 minutes until it hits 165°F (74°C).
  10. Slice and serve. Cut the turkey against the grain into half inch slices. Note: This ensures the most tender bite for your guests.
