Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality turkey tenderloins: Look for tenderloins that are firm, plump, and have a healthy pink color.
  • Marinate the tenderloins: Marinating helps to add flavor and moisture to the turkey. Use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar, as well as herbs and spices.
  • Preheat your grill: Make sure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before cooking the tenderloins.
  • Grill the tenderloins over indirect heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out. Cook the tenderloins for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the tenderloins rest before slicing: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Grilled turkey tenderloins are a healthy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be marinated in a variety of flavors to suit your taste. Serve the tenderloins with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
