How to Make Maple Mustard Turkey Tenderloin
Start by making the maple mustard sauce that also doubles as a marinade. Add maple syrup, mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, thyme, paprika and coriander in a small bowl and whisk until fully combined. Place the turkey tenderloins In an airtight container or zip top bag and add half of the maple mustard mixture as a marinade, reserving the remainder for making the sauce. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes ( or up to 3 hours).
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey tenderloin to the skillet and sear for 5 minutes. Flip the tenderloins over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast the turkey tenderloins for 20-25 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees (this instant read thermometer works great).
While the turkey tenderloins are roasting prepare the sauce. Add the reserved maple mustard sauce to a small saucepan over medium low heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes or until reduced and slightly thickened.
Once the turkey tenderloins are done roasting transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice the tenderloins and serve with the maple mustard sauce.
