How to Bake Turkey Tenderloins

Let's talk turkey tenderloin. Turkey tenderloins are cut from the inside center of the bird's breast. They are a boneless, skinless, all white meat product that can be served whole, as butterflied fillets or cut into medallions. This makes them easy to cook, serve and incorporate into favorite recipes. In addition to being flexible, turkey tenderloins are also highly nutritious.
