What do you need?

Turkey breast tenderloins

Turkey tenderloins are long and thin cuts of meat that come from the breast of the turkey. They are lean and flavorful, and they cook quickly and evenly. You can also use turkey breast strips for this recipe.

Vegetables

The recipe below uses sweet potato, sweet onion, celery, and Brussels sprouts for a traditional holiday roast flavor. However, you can use just about any fresh vegetables that you like.

Choose vegetables that will have a similar cook time to the vegetables used in this recipe (e.g. carrots, broccoli, pumpkin, squash, green beans), or if using tender quick-cooking vegetables, add them after the first 10-15 minutes of cooking.

Seasoning

This recipe uses a mix of garlic powder, dried rosemary, and thyme, salt, and black pepper. You can also substitute any turkey or other poultry seasoning that you like.

Oil

You will need to use some cooking oil. I use olive oil, but you can substitute another cooking oil with a neutral flavor. Choose one with a high smoke point as this recipe cooks at a high temperature.

How to make this turkey tenderloin roast recipe

This recipe is very simple to prepare, there are just a few key steps to getting it just right:

1. Prepare. Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C. Line a large, baking tray or sheetpan with baking paper or aluminum foil (if using foil, spritz or drizzle it with oil).
2. Place the turkey tenderloins on the baking sheet, with space around them. Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces, and scatter them around the tenderloins on the baking tray.
3. Prepare the seasoning. In a small bowl or jug whisk together the other ingredients ‘For the turkey’ (oil, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper). Drizzle over the turkey tenderloins and vegetables, and gently toss to coat.
4. Bake turkey tenderloins. Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
5. Prepare the croutons. While the turkey tenderloins are baking, place the bread cubes in a large bowl. Whisk the other ingredients ‘For the croutons’ together in a small bowl or jug, drizzle over the bread cubes and toss to ensure everything is evenly coated.
6. Add the croutons. When the 35 minutes cooking time is up, carefully remove the sheetpan from the oven and remove the top of layer of foil. Scatter the croutons and the pecan halves over the top of the vegetables. Return the sheetpan to the oven, and bake uncovered, for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the bread is crispy on top.
7. Rest the turkey tenderloins. Remove the turkey tenderloins and cover with foil to rest for five minutes. Return the vegetables to the oven if they need a few more minutes cooking.
8. Serve. Toss the cranberries with the vegetables, and slice the turkey. Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy!
