So what is a Turkey Tenderloin? It is the part of the turkey derived from the softest sections of the breast, the white portion of the turkey breast meat taken from the center of the breast of a turkey. Typically they come with two tenderloins in one package.
One is great for 2-3 people, but you would need both for up to 6 people. Turkey tenderloins are very versatile and can be marinated, grilled, roasted, fried ... the possibilities are limited only by your imagination, making a wonderful substitute for beef or pork in many dishes. Additionally, they are fairly economical, which is an added bonus.
