Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease the bottom of a 3-quart baking pan with oil. (Make sure the pan is safe under high temperatures and can withstand being under the broiler for 5 minutes.)
Place the turkey tenderloin in the middle of the baking pan and add a few orange slices and fresh herbs.
Pour the orange juice over the tenderloin and season with garlic powder, salt and pepper (adjust to your taste), and dried herbs.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, just until the internal temperature reaches 150°F (it will continue to cook when we broil and reach 165°F).
When the internal temperature reaches 150°F, remove the foil and place the tenderloin under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the top lightly browns and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Allow the turkey to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with orange slices and fresh herbs. Serve with mashed potatoes and asparagus or your favorite sides. Enjoy!

Notes
Ensure your baking dish is safe for high temperatures and can withstand being under the broiler for 5 minutes.
Don’t forget to allow that turkey some rest time to keep it juicy.
Infuse the flavors by making a marinade. Take all but the turkey and whisk together to make your marinade ingredients. Then place the entire turkey tenderloin into a zippered bag with the marinade ingredients and place the bag in the fridge overnight.
