Notes
- Brine or marinate fresh turkey tenderloin: This recipe uses pre-brined turkey tenderloin. If yours is not already brined or marinated, brine or marinate it first for more flavor. You can use my buttermilk turkey brine or the marinade from my Air Fryer Turkey Thighs.
- Use one seasoning option: Use the seasoning blend listed in the recipe card, or swap in poultry seasoning as the full seasoning shortcut.
- Pat it dry before seasoning: This helps the oil and seasoning stick to the outside.
- Do not overcook: Turkey tenderloin is lean. Use a meat thermometer and cook until the thickest part reaches 165 degrees.
- Let it rest before slicing: Resting helps keep the turkey juicy.
- Reheat gently: Add a little broth, butter, or gravy when reheating sliced turkey so it does not dry out.
