Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup jalapeno pepper jelly, red or green
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning
- 2 pounds turkey tenderloins (4 turkey tenderloins)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Dash ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the pepper jelly, apple juice, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, and Creole seasoning in a saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook just until smooth and hot. Set aside and let the marinade cool completely.
- Combine the cooled marinade mixture with the turkey tenderloins in a plastic food storage bag or nonreactive container. Turn to coat the turkey thoroughly; seal the bag or cover the container and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours. Turn frequently to keep the tenders coated.
- Remove the turkey tenderloins from the marinade.
- Pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring to a full boil over high heat. Boil for 1 minute. Remove the marinade from the heat and set aside.
- Oil the outdoor or tabletop grill and preheat to medium heat. If your grill has a temperature gauge, look for a temperature of about 350 F to 375 F. Place the marinated tenderloins on the oiled grill grate; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Close the lid and grill the turkey tenders, basting occasionally with the marinade. This will take about 8 to 10 minutes per side. If possible, check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer. The minimum safe temperature for turkey is 165 F.
