Photo: Herb-Roasted Turkey Tenderloin with Mango, Lime And Ginger Dressing And Roasted Sweet Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 turkey tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- Olive oil
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (2-inch pieces)
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and flesh sliced from seed
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Season turkey tenderloins all over with salt, black pepper and cumin.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, add about 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil. Once heated, add the turkey tenderloins and saute on 1 side. Add the potatoes to the pan, flip the turkey, when ready and place the pan into the preheated oven. Roast turkey and potatoes for about 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 170 to 180 degrees F. Let turkey stand 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Meanwhile, in a blender combine mangoes, mint, lime juice, mustard, and ginger. Puree until blended. Add yogurt and puree until smooth. Serve 1/2 of the turkey with all of the sauce spooned over top and all of the sweet potatoes.
Reserve remaining turkey for Thai Turkey and Rice.

The first time I made this (three years ago and my daughters (5 yo and 3 yo at the time ate 3/4 of a turkey tenderloin by themselves! (so much for the save for later recipe!
The sauce was great (I forgot the dijon but I think I would like it even better with lamb or shrimp. As I said, I served the sauce on the side. The girls tried it and were interested, but not ready to dive in with the "dipping sauce".
I had never eaten sweet potatoes like this before and now make them again and again. Thank you so much for this easy and tasty recipe!
This has now become a staple in our dinner rotation. I add different fresh herbs (rosemary, sage, thyme, tarragon, etc. based on what I have on hand, and this recipe has never disappointed!
As a working mom, I love fresh, healthy foods that I can cook quickly!

I substituted Butternut Squash for the sweet potatoes and my family loved it. They were left in the pan to cook while the turkey rested and it was just enough time. I found that we used only half the sauce also and will find a use for the rest of it tomorrow.

This is a really tasty variation of turkey breast. I oiled the sweet potatoes a bit before putting them in the pan and cooked them a bit longer in the pan juices after the turkey was finished. The sweet potatoes are really the hit of the dish. I also added a teaspoon of honey to the sauce. I have a lot of leftover sauce so next time I will only make half.
