Oven-Roasted Turkey Breast
I don’t know about you but one of my most favorite meals every year is Thanksgiving dinner. Of course the reason for the season makes it extra special, but the gathering together and enjoying great food is special, too.
In my quest to give up dieting and get to just living, I try not wait to make certain recipes and save them for holidays. We all know that life is way too short and we are not promised tomorrow so why do we do that?
Why can’t we have our favorite Christmas cookies on a warm day in June, for instance?? And why do we wait to have things like turkey dinner only on Thanksgiving or Christmas or another holiday?
Any Day Can Be Turkey Day!
Here’s the thing: I was hungry for turkey and stuffing so I made some. It was a random Sunday afternoon and I just went for it and I will not apologize.
Sounds kind of dramatic but I can assure you it was not – but what WAS dramatic was the best roast turkey breast recipe ever!
It didn’t have to make a whole turkey, it didn’t take me any thawing time, brine time, paranoia about a big bird leaving salmonella on my countertops, and I didn’t have to stick my hand into some cavity to pull out some other *bleh* parts.
The best part about it all: it was fast, it was easy, and it was delicious. I guess that’s three things but I think you get me.
Any night of the week can be turkey day!
The Best and Easiest Turkey Tenderloin Recipe
Most grocery stores offer the turkey tenderloin package in the poultry section and it comes with two nice sized pieces. You can also use boneless turkey breast for this recipe. I typically roast both tenderloins for hubs and I.
We have one for dinner and I thinly slice up the other one and we have turkey sammiches the next day – and we can ALL agree that Turkey dinner can only be bested by leftover turkey sandwiches, right??
Mayo, lettuce, salt & pepper, super soft bread, mmmmmmmm…

Sounds good. What are the bits on the surface? Looks like breadcrumbs.
