{Savory Crock Pot Turkey Tenderloin with Vegetables}








Crock pot meals are the best.... unfortunately I don't make them enough.  I mean who doesn't love   throwing everything into one pot, flipping a switch, and magically 8 hours later you have a delicious and healthy meal! I mean come on, whats not to love?


The problem I have with crock pot meals is I don't plan them well.  I either decide to late that I want to make something in my crock pot (think like an  hour before I want to eat) or I give myself ample time to cook something delicious and then... don't have all the ingredients!


But that all changed with this delicious Savory Crock Pot Turkey Tenderloin with Vegetables... because I planned ahead!  And let me tell you that this meal was worth the planning.  The Turkey Tenderloin was flavorful, and juicy and the vegetables soaked up all the turkey goodness.  This truly is a simple yet delicious meal.


I used a Jenni-O pre-marinaded Savory Roast Turkey Tenderloin and added a few seasonings of my own and used a combination of sweet and russet potatoes.  Serve with a simple salad to complete the meal.  Added bonus, the leftovers are absolutely delicious!

Brunch N'Cupcakes
Serves 4-6

Ingredients:
1 - Turkey Tenderloin  - I used Jenni-O's Savory Roast Turkey Breast Tenderloin 
2 Medium Sweet Potatoes peeled and cubed
2-3 Small Russet Potatoes - peeled and cubed 
4 Medium Carrots - Peeled and Chopped 
1/2 Medium Onion 
2-3 Cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth 
1 Tablespoon Savory Italian seasoning

Directions:

1- Remove turkey tenderloin from packaging and remove unwanted fat.  Sprinkle turkey tenderloin with savory Italian seasoning, set aside.  
2- Place sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, carrots and onions in the base of a crock pot. 
3- Carefully place turkey tenderloin on top of vegetables in crock pot.  Pour chicken broth around turkey tenderloin (so you don't wash off all the Italian seasoning) until vegetables are covered. 
4- Cook on low for 2.5 hours or until turkey tenderloin reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees. 
5- Remove tenderloin from crock pot and slice.  Serve atop vegetables.
