Turkey Tenderloin
- 1.5 pounds turkey tenderloins
Seasoning & Butter
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400˚F to prepare for roasting the turkey tenderloin.
- Season Turkey: Combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice mix evenly all over the turkey tenderloin to ensure full flavor coverage.
