Citrus-Herb-Marinated Turkey Tenderloins
- 2/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup capers, drained and mashed
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 to 2 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds turkey tenderloins
- Combine 2/3 cup of the olive oil and the capers, garlic, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, sage, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Tenderize both sides of the turkey tenderloins with a fork, piercing the meat all the way through about 10 times per side.
- Place the turkey in a large resealable plastic bag or a large bowl and add the marinade.
- Make sure the turkey is coated on all sides.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat.
- Carefully add the turkey tenderloins and cook for 4 minutes, or until brown.
- (The oil may splatter when you add the turkey to the skillet.)
- Flip the turkey and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the turkey again, and cook, covered, for 5 to 8 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the turkey reads 140 F. Serve hot.
- The cooked turkey may be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Allow it to return to room temperature before serving or reheating it, covered, for 15 minutes in a 400 F. oven.
- Uncover and continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
