Ingredients
1.25 lb (about 1 piece) turkey tenderloin
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 whole lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Pat turkey tenderloin dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, and dried rosemary to create a herb rub
Spread the rub evenly over all sides of the turkey
Place turkey on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes
Increase oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast 5-10 minutes more until golden
After resting, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the turkey before serving
Notes
Ensure turkey is halal-certified if required
Substitute chicken breast for turkey tenderloin if unavailable
Use avocado oil for a neutral alternative to olive oil
Fresh minced garlic (1 clove) can replace garlic powder
Thyme or sage works as a rosemary substitute
Let turkey rest 5-10 minutes before slicing
