Lemon Pepper Turkey Tenderloin

I ran across this recipe somewhere on the net while searching for recipes for turkey tenderloin. We had it for dinner the other night and it was a hit, definitley on our ‘do again’ list of meals.

1/4 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 tablespoon ground ginger
1/4 tablespoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 tablespoon cracked black pepper

combine the first 6 ingredients ina bowl. Pour it over the turkey tenderloins and marinate 30 minutes - 3 hours.

Combine grated lemon rind, garlic and black pepper - rub over tenderloins. Bake at 340 until meat reaches temp of 170. Take out of oven, let sit for 10 minutes. Serve.

Note: Use any leftover turkey the next day to make turkey wraps for lunch. Mince the turkey, add chopped tomatoes, shredded carrots, minced black olives with a few tablespoons non fat ranch dressing. Put a green lettuce leaf on a whole wheat tortilla - spoon the turkey mixture on top of the lettus - roll up and enjoy!
