Roasted Turkey Tenderloin with Onion-Apple Compote
Ingredients
For the Turkey
- 2 turkey tenderloins (1 ¾ - 2 lbs total weight)
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp dried, ground rosemary
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Compote
- 2 red onions, skin removed, cut in half and sliced thin
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken broth, 99% fat free
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tart apples, cored, cut into quarters and thinly sliced
- 1 cup Welch’s 100% Grape Juice made with Concord grapes
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of Kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper, the garlic, rosemary and thyme on all sides of the turkey tenderloins.
- Heat an oven-safe, non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add olive oil and swirl to lightly cover the bottom of the pan.
- Place turkey tenderloins into hot pan and sear about 4-5 minutes until browned. Turn and sear the second side for an additional 4-5 minutes. Once seared, Remove tenderloins from the pan and place in a container. Set aside.
- Add onions to the same hot pan and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until soft and they begin to brown. Add remaining salt and pepper and stir.
- Add chicken stock, vinegar and apples to the pan. Stir and continue to sweat the onion/apple compote for about 3-5 minutes on medium heat until the liquid begins to reduce and apple begins to soften.
- Add grape juice to the onion/apple compote. Allow to come to a boil and remove from heat. Place reserved turkey tenderloins on the top of the compote. Place pan in the oven and continue to roast tenderloin uncovered for about 25- 30 minutes until the turkey is no longer pink in the middle and reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. The onion-apple compote will be soft and the liquid reduced by at least half.
- Remove from the oven. Place the tenderloins on a cutting board and allow meat to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Slice tenderloin diagonally and serve with onion-apple compote.
