Blackberry Glazed Turkey Tenderloin Salad
March 12, 2012
I have been getting so many questions at all of my recent health/wellness speaking engagements about lean proteins. Since people tend to forget about turkey (except during Thanksgiving), how about cooking turkey tenderloins? This recipe for Blackberry Glazed Turkey Tenderloin Salad is a 30 minute, simple recipe that is fresh, fast and pretty. The most difficult part is turning on the grill. The barbecue sauce, paprika and blackberry preserves add great flavor to the turkey. Enjoy the turkey sliced over a salad (such as above) or paired with grilled asparagus and a quinoa side dish for a healthy dinner.

This sounds so quick and easy! I have been turning to tenderloins a lot recently and have been sticking to pork, but I'll have to lighten the load and try your turkey version next! Cannot wait to see you this weekend at Disney!

This looks magically delicious. I've been on a blackberry kick (post to come) and I bet this pairs wonderfully.
