I also used cutlets because I can't find a tenderloin. The sauce was very mild, even a little boring. I added about 1.5 tsp of apple cider vinegar to give it some brightness. DD gave it 3 stars, DH gave 4 as did I. It is not going to be a staple recipe but I definitely will make again.

I liked this one but my DH wasn't as thrilled with it. I liked it though!

Yum! I used leftover turkey.

I would think this would be good with a pork tenderloin, too. I am going to try it.

I love this recipe. The only problem is I can't find Turkey breast tenderloin where I live. I have made it twice with turkey cutlets, but even these are seldom seen at the grocery store. I might have to try chicken next time.
