Welcome to part two of our three-part recipe series! Thanksgiving is just a week away and we’re here give you the delicious recipes you need to celebrate this holiday. Last week, we presented you with our Spiced Orange Spritzer and Cranberry Brie Hash Brown Canapés recipes. This week, it’s all about the core of Thanksgiving dinner – the turkey! However, Thanksgiving dinner isn’t complete without classic side dishes like stuffing and vegetables so we’ve put a Dunkin’ twist on them too. So what’s on the menu? Using Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and bakery items, we created a coffee-rubbed roasted turkey tenderloin served with pumpkin coffee gravy, roasted root vegetables with a pumpkin coffee glaze and corn muffin stuffin’.
Coffee Rubbed Roasted Turkey Tenderloin
Ingredients:
• 1 Turkey Tenderloin
• 1/2 lb. Bacon
• 2 TBSP Dunkin’ Donuts Original Blend Ground Coffee
• 2 TSP Paprika
• 1 TBSP Garlic Powder
• 1 TBSP Onion Powder
• 2 TSP Poultry Seasoning
• 1 TBSP Salt
• 1 TSP Black Pepper
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine Dunkin’ Donuts Original Blend ground coffee, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Set aside.
3. Remove turkey from package and pat dry with paper towel on a designated poultry cutting board.
4. Rub spices into the turkey breast.
5. Lay the bacon out side-by-side to make a sheet to wrap around the turkey. Place turkey tenderloin in the center of the back and wrap the bacon around the turkey.
6. Place turkey tenderloin on a foil-lined sheet pan and roast until thickest portion of the turkey breast reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees (this should take approximately 45 minutes).
7. Remove from oven and tent with tin foil and let rest for about 10 minutes, this ensures the meat stays juicy (no one likes dry turkey right?!).
8. Slice and serve along with the rest of your DD Thanksgiving fixings!
