Italian Turkey Tenderloins

By Linda Larsen, About.com

This delicious four ingredient recipe cooks in minutes on your grill. Make sure to cook the bacon just until it begins to brown but is still pliable so it can easily wrap around the turkey pieces.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 2 (3/4 pound each) turkey tenderloins
  • 1/4 cup Italian salad dressing
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves

Preparation:

Prepare and heat grill. In medium skillet, cook bacon, turning frequently, for a few minutes until bacon begins to brown but is still pliable. Drain bacon on paper towels.

Slice turkey tenderloins crosswise into four pieces each. The thin ends of the tenderloin need to be paired up so they will cook evenly, so pair them, and you'll end up with six pieces; wrap bacon around each of the six pieces of turkey. In small bowl combine salad dressing, pepper and thyme leaves; brush over turkey and bacon.

Place wrapped tenderloins on grill 4-6" from medium heat. Cook for 12-15 minutes until turkey is thoroughly cooked and bacon is crisp, basting occasionally with salad dressing and turning to cook evenly. 6 servings
