Turkey tenderloin can sometimes be a bit more challenging to find in the meat case at a supermarket. So plan ahead and check with the butcher to see if it needs to be ordered. After tracking it down, you can turn this tenderloin into a complete meal by serving it with a side of black beans sprinkled with diced red bell pepper and chopped fresh cilantro. After browning the turkey, the sweet, savory sauce, made with chicken broth, apricot jam, Dijon mustard, and fresh thyme, gets reduced and is cooked alongside the turkey for even more convenience (only one skillet needed!). After all the ingredients get a chance to know each other, slice up the turkey, arrange on a platter, and spoon that gorgeous-looking pan sauce over for a showstopper of an entrée.

⅓ cup(s)

Apricot jam
