Turkey Tenderloin FAQ
Cooking turkey tenderloin can be a daunting task for beginners because keeping it moist and flavorful is a challenge when not done correctly. Overcooking is where most people go wrong, resulting in dry, tough meat. Brining or marinading your tenderloin can help prevent this, imparting flavor, and retaining its juices. For an optimal cooking experience, use a meat thermometer to know when it's done – the interior should reach 165°F (74°C) for safety. Another mistake is neglecting to let the meat rest after cooking. Always let your turkey tenderloin rest for at least 10 minutes after taking it out from the oven or off the grill. This allows juices to distribute evenly throughout the meat making it moister and tastier. Here are some little-known tips for a delectable turkey tenderloin: 1) Add a touch of sweetness. Turkey pairs well with sweet flavors, so using a sweet marinade like maple or adding fruit-based glaze can enhance its taste. 2) Utilize a grill. Grilling adds a smoky depth of flavor you can't get from an oven. 3) Go global with flavors. The mild flavor of turkey tenderloin can stand up to bold, international seasonings, like those found in Mexican, Italian, or Indian cuisine, giving you a wide range of recipe options.
