How to Make Baked Turkey Tenderloin
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, leaving some overhang on the sides.
- Add 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped onion to the prepared baking dish.
- Place a 1.5-2 lb turkey tenderloin on top of the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the turkey with 1 teaspoon of your favorite poultry seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Dot the top of the turkey with 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Fold the foil over the turkey and vegetables to create a sealed packet. Crimp the edges tightly to prevent leaks.
- Fold the foil over again for extra security, ensuring both seams are on top.
- Bake for 85 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey registers 160°F (71°C) and the vegetables are tender.
- Carefully remove the foil packet from the oven. Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. The resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
