2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon thyme leaves

¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt

Step 2: Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Rub this spice mixture all over the turkey tenderloins.
Step 3: Place the seasoned turkey tenderloins on top of the potatoes in the slow cooker. Cut the butter into small pats and distribute them over the turkey.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a splash of chicken broth or white wine to the slow cooker before cooking.
Try adding chopped fresh rosemary or sage to the spice rub for an herbal twist.
Use Yukon gold potatoes instead of baby creamers for a slightly different texture.
If you prefer crispy potatoes, remove them after cooking and roast in a hot oven for 10 minutes before serving.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a skillet with a splash of broth to keep the turkey moist. This dish can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen turkey tenderloins in this recipe?

It is best to use fully thawed turkey tenderloins to ensure even cooking. If using frozen, allow extra cooking time and verify the internal temperature reaches 165˚F.

What if I don’t have a slow cooker?

You can roast the turkey and potatoes in the oven at 375˚F for about 45-55 minutes, or until the turkey reaches 165˚F, stirring the potatoes halfway through cooking.
