Mandarin Turkey Tenderloin
My husband grew up in an area with lots of turkey farms, so he learned early to love dishes that use turkey. This makes a tasty dinner that requires no last minute fuss, so I like to serve it when I have company over.—Lorie Miner, Kamas, Utah8 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Cook: 4-1/2 hours
