Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; 3 ounces turkey per serving

Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried, crushed
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt-free lemon pepper
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1 1-pound turkey tenderloin, all visible fat discarded
1/4 cup Chicken Broth (page 50) or commercial fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon dry white wine (regular or nonalcoholic)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a large glass baking dish with cooking spray.

    Step 2

    Put the oil, rosemary, lemon juice, lemon pepper, and garlic in the baking dish, stirring to combine. Add the turkey, turning to coat. Tuck the ends under for even cooking.

    Step 3

    Bake for 20 minutes. Turn over and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the turkey registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board, retaining the liquid in the baking dish and leaving the oven on. Let the turkey stand for 5 minutes to continue cooking (it should reach at least 165°F). Thinly slice diagonally across the grain. Arrange the sliced turkey on a serving plate.

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, pour the broth and wine into the baking dish, scraping to dislodge any browned bits. Stir well. Return the baking dish to the oven for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the broth is heated through. Pour the sauce over the turkey slices.

  2. Pork Tenderloin with Rosemary

    Step 5

    Substitute a 1-pound pork tenderloin for the turkey. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pork registers 150°F on an instant-read thermometer, or is slightly pink in the very center. Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let stand for about 10 minutes before slicing. The pork will continue to cook during the standing time, reaching about 160°F.

  3. Cook’s Tip on Fresh Rosemary

    Step 6

    Sprigs of rosemary are hardy and will keep for about two weeks in an airtight plastic bag in the refrigerator.
