Fabulous Grilled Turkey Tenderloin With a Dazzling Balsamic Sauce

Ingredients
  

Ingredients For The Balsamic Sauce:

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup onions, diced
  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • A little salt and pepper, to taste

Ingredients For Turkey Tenderloins:

  • 2 turkey tenderloins (about 1½ lb. total), patted dry

Instructions
 

Instructions For Grilling:

  • Preheat one side of grill to medium-high, the other side to medium-low.
  • In a nonstick saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil.  Saute onions in oil until soft, about 2 minutes.  Stir in vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, Dijon and a little salt and pepper.  Bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until reduced to  1½ cups, about 10 minutes.  Set aside 1 cup sauce for serving.
  • Brush turkey tenderloins with ¼ cup remaining sauce.  Grill turkey covered, on medium-low side of grill, 4 minutes.  Flip turkey, baste with 2 tablespoons sauce, and grill 4 minutes.  Baste again with 2 tablespoons sauce and transfer turkey to medium-high side.  Cook basted turkey until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees, about 4 minutes.
  • Remove turkey from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Drizzle the remaining sauce, that was set aside, over turkey slices and serve.

Instructions For Baking:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place turkey tenderloins in a 9 x 9 inch baking pan.  Cut pieces, if too large. Reserve 1 cup sauce for serving. Spread ¼ cup over top of tenderloins and set aside ¼ cup for broiling.
  • Cover pan with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler, cover cooked tenderloins with ¼ cup sauce and broil for about 3 minutes until browned.
  • Remove turkey from oven and let rest for 5 minutes, before slicing.
  • Drizzle the 1 cup sauce that was set aside, over turkey slices and serve.
