Ingredients
Scale
Turkey Tenderloin
- 1.5 pound turkey tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby creamer potatoes, cut in half
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Cut the baby creamer potatoes in half and place them evenly on the bottom of the slow cooker to form a base for the turkey and to cook alongside it.
- Season Turkey: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Rub this spice blend all over the turkey tenderloins to coat evenly.
- Assemble in Crockpot: Lay the seasoned turkey tenderloins on top of the bed of potatoes in the slow cooker. Cut the butter into small pats and distribute them evenly over the top of the turkey to add moisture and flavor during cooking.
- Cook: Cover and cook on high for 2.5 to 3.5 hours or on low for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165˚F, ensuring it is thoroughly cooked and tender. Cooking times may vary based on your slow cooker size and the thickness of the meat.
Notes
- Check the internal temperature of the turkey to ensure it reaches 165˚F for safe consumption.
- Using baby creamer potatoes ensures they cook evenly and tenderly alongside the turkey.
- If your crockpot runs hot or cold, adjust cooking times accordingly and monitor doneness.
- Butter pats on top of turkey help keep it moist and add rich flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed within 3-4 days or frozen for longer storage.
