Roasted Cumin Spiced Turkey Tenderloins w/ Jalapeno Cheddar Fried Potatoes

Dinner Tonight: Roasted Cumin Spiced Turkey Tenderloins w/ Jalapeno Cheddar Fried Potatoes and Sliced Carrots




It wasn't too bad out this morning, 25 degrees and no wind. That quickly changed as the temperature started dropping and the wind started blowing by this afternoon it was 10 degrees with a wind chill of -5. Went to Kroger around 8 am this morning and stopped by the bank and back home. Just as I got back the repair shop called and they had my car ready, nothing serious thankfully! We went and picked that up and back home for the day. Tonight for Dinner I prepared a Roasted Cumin Spiced Turkey Tenderloins w/ Jalapeno Cheddar Fried Potatoes.

For the Turkey Tenderloins I used Jennie – O Extra Lean Boneless Turkey Breast Tenderloins. So to prep the Turkey Tenderloins I’ll need; 2 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1/2 tbsp Roasted Cumin, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian Paprika, 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. I love using the Cumin Spiced Rub on Pork and Chicken Dishes. To prepare it preheat my oven to 350°. Combine all the ingredients; rub it all over the Turkey Tenderloins. Let stand 10 minutes. Heat the oil in a Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Add Turkey to pan; cook 4 minutes, browning on both sides. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until a thermometer registers 165°, turning after 7 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Then get ready to enjoy one delicious Turkey Tenderloin! Fantastic combo of Spices, which made one incredible Crust on the Turkey with the inside being tender and moist! I’ve used the Cumin Spice Rub on different meats now and it works well with all of them, gives it a nice crust and great flavor.




For a side dish for the Sliders I prepared Jalapeno Cheddar Fried Potatoes. I had come across this a while back in an issue of Cuisine at Home Magazine. Made some changes from the original recipe. I used Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes, Canola Oil instead of Peanut Oil, Scallions, 1 Jalapeno (sliced), Sea Salt and Ground Pepper, Sargento Reduced Fat Mexican Style Shredded Cheese, and I also added some diced Red Onion. To prepare it; Add the Canola Oil to a Cast Iron Skillet and heat on medium. Prepare the Diced potatoes according to the package instructions. About midway through the cooking process add the Diced Red Onion and continue cooking. Then Scallions and Jalapeno; saute 2 more minutes, then season with Sea Salt & Pepper. Off the heat sprinkle with the Sargento Reduced Fat Mexican Style Shredded Cheese. And another keeper Potato Dish! This has turned out to be one of my favorite Potato Side Dishes. I also heated up a can of Del Monte Sliced Carrots. For dessert later a Del Monte No Sugar Added Mango Chunk Cup.
