Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 1.5 lbs total) Turkey tenderloins
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 medium (pitted and chopped) Fresh plums
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 sprig Optional garnish: fresh thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the turkey tenderloins dry with a paper towel. Season them on all sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped plums, honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ground ginger, and water. Heat over medium heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Use an immersion blender (or transfer the sauce to a blender) and puree until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 6
Pour half of the plum glaze over the seared turkey tenderloins, making sure they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet with the turkey tenderloins to the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
Serve the turkey tenderloins with the remaining plum glaze on the side, and garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
