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…

How to Roast Turkey Tenderloins in the Oven

This baked turkey tenderloin recipe could not be easier – just three ingredients, a cast iron skillet, and 30 minutes.

All we are doing is seasoning the turkey with honey mustard and rotisserie seasoning, putting it in a cast iron skillet and baking it! We are roasting at a high temperature, so it cooks quickly giving us delicious turkey. It’s my favorite way to cook these and creates a moist turkey breast – every time.

No dried out bird here, friends. Tender and juicy turkey breast and full of flavor!

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Spray a cast iron skillet, baking dish, baking sheet, or roasting pan with nonstick spray
Season the bottom of the dish with 1T Seasoning
Place tenderloins into the skillet or dish
In a small bowl, mix the honey and mustard if making your own
Baste the top of the tenderloins with Honey Mustard mixture
Sprinkle remaining mixture of spices onto the tenderloins
Place in oven and roast for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees
