Grilled Turkey Tenderloin

My mother-in-law always hosts Thanksgiving at her house, but this year my husband and I will have to opt out of the festivities due to work obligations. For me, I really don’t care much for the holiday to begin with, but Jason does look forward to spending time with the family and, of course, the food, so he's already feeling the loss. But I thought that maybe I could do a scaled down version for him at home before we left so he could feel like he’s getting to enjoy a little of the holiday without missing it completely. Purchasing a whole turkey is out of the question since he would be the only one eating it, but I grabbed a Grilled Turkey Tenderloin recipe off of Golden Blossom Honey’s website that I thought would be a fantastic alternative. Since it’s just a small portion of turkey, it cooks quickly and makes just enough for a few servings, so it’s great for feeding just a few people or for just one person to have a meal with a few days of leftovers as a bonus.

I was a little confused on this recipe because the only turkey tenderloin that I have ever found comes in a log roll package that takes an hour to cook in the oven or 45 minutes on the grill, which contradicts the  15 minute grilling time in this recipe. Maybe there are pre-sliced turkey tenderloins out there that this recipe is referring to, but we don’t have them here. So, I improvised and cooked mine whole on the grill for the 45 minute time frame while still using the basting ingredients throughout grilling. I never understood the popularity of white meat because of its dryness, but even I was impressed with how juicy this turkey tenderloin was fresh off the grill. My knife sliced right through like it was butter. The best part was, no bones to pick around. Carving a whole turkey is messy business. Turkey tenderloin? A breeze! Whether you're looking to scale down the meal this year, you're feeding just a few, or if you just have a preference on white vs dark meat, this recipe is a great way to meet those needs.
