Equipment
- instant-read thermometer
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb Turkey Tenderloin (about 2 pieces)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary, crushed
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the turkey tenderloin pieces completely dry with paper towels. This step is important for getting a nice golden sear in the air fryer.
- In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil and dijon mustard until smooth. In a separate small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- Brush the mustard mixture all over each piece of turkey tenderloin, coating every surface. Then sprinkle the spice blend generously over the turkey, pressing it gently so it adheres well.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F. Place the turkey tenderloins in the basket, leaving space between them for air circulation.
- Air fry for 12 minutes, then carefully flip the tenderloins. Continue cooking for another 10 to 13 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F when checked with an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part.
- Remove the turkey from the air fryer and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 5 to 8 minutes. This resting time allows the juices to redistribute so the meat stays tender and moist.
- Slice the turkey tenderloin against the grain into 1/2-inch thick medallions. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
