2 New Recipes to Try

Roasted Turkey Tenderloin with New Potatoes & Tarragon Broth (pg. 126)

Cooking spray
One 1 1/4 pound turkey tenderloin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 pounds small red potatoes, quartered (if bigger, cut into 2 inch pieces)
2 shallots chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup educed-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

1.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  Coat a roasting pan with cooking spray.

2.  Season the turkey all over with salt and pepper and place in the prepared pan.  Arrange the potatoes all around the turkey, spray them with cooking spray, then season them with salt and pepper.  Arrange the shallots over the potatoes.  

3.  In a small bowl, combine the wine, broth, vinegar, and tarragon.  Pour this over the turkey.

4.  Roast the turkey and potatoes until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey registers at least 160 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.  Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before cutting it crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.  

MORPH IT... make a double batch (roast two turkey tenderloins, but don't make extra potatoes and morph the extra turkey into Turkey-Spinach Salad with Strawberries, Kiwi & Cashews in Honey-Sesame Dressing.
