My Take On Crock Pot Turkey Tenderloin

If you love turkey and want a dish that takes it to a whole new level, then my crock pot turkey tenderloin recipe is the dish for you!

Not only is this a simple recipe, but it is also one of the most delicious turkey recipes I have ever tried. With its juicy white meat and flavorful poultry seasoning, it makes the perfect meal for a small get-together or family dinner.

I love turkey because it's such a lean meat, and slow cooking it makes for a super healthy recipe. Not only that, but it's also really versatile. I like to serve my turkey tenderloins with class holiday sides like cranberry sauce and these cheesy mashed potatoes, but you can also serve it with a salad, some baked potatoes, or really any of your other favorite side dishes.

Great for Thanksgiving. Instead of a classic turkey, I've made this for Thanksgiving, and my family loved it!

Ingredients

• Turkey tenderloin- you can use two large tenderloins for extra guests.
• Chicken broth- to keep the meat nice and juicy.
• Italian seasoning- for a depth of flavor.
• Onion powder and garlic powder- to add more savory flavors.
• Salt and pepper
• Butter- this is my secret ingredient that makes the meat so tender and delicious.

How To Make Crockpot Turkey Tenderloin

1. Prep: Add the chicken broth to the crock pot along with the Italian herbs, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the turkey to the crock pot and flip it so each side is coated with broth and spices.

2. Cook: Add the butter on top of the turkey and place the lid on the crock pot. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 hours.

3. Serve: Remove the meat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with mashed potatoes or any sides you want. Enjoy!

My Pro Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Dry the turkey completely with paper towels before starting this recipe.
• I absolutely love turkey, but this recipe also works well with pork tenderloin and chicken tenderloins.
• Add some extra zing to this recipe with a little soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, kosher salt, or chili powder.

How I Recommend Storing Leftovers

In the fridge: Put any leftovers in an airtight container and store it for up to 4 days.

In the freezer: Transfer the turkey to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 6 months.

Reheating: My favorite way to reheat the meat is to add it to a skillet with a little broth and warm it over medium heat on both sides for 2 minutes.
