Dinner Tonight: Roasted Applewood Smoked Turkey Breast Tenderloin w/ Bacon and Ranch Red Potatoes, Mixed Chili Beans, and Baked Garlic Loaf Bread





For Breakfast this morning I prepared a Poached Egg and served it on a toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin. I also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Well another rainy day out

again. Rain Showers and 59 degrees. Beats Cold and Snow, I'm just looking for something positive! We have had a lot rain. After Breakfast I started a couple of loads of laundry. Then cleaned the house, dusted and vacuumed. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Roasted Applewood Smoked Turkey Breast Tenderloin w/ Bacon and Ranch Red Potatoes, Mixed Chili Beans, and Baked Garlic Loaf Bread. We took Dad a plate of this for his Dinner at the Retirement Center






I had purchased the Jennie – O Applewood Smoke Flavor Turkey Breast Tenderloin from Meijer and had it in the freezer. Sat it in fridge to thaw overnight. Meijer is the only store that carries this and most of the other Jennie – O Turkey Products. The Turkey Tenderloin comes pre-seasoned and is 100 calories, 4 carbs, and 99% fat free. Besides this beautiful Tenderloin all I’ll need to prepare it is some McCormick Grinders of Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley, Blackberry Glaze, and Extra Light Olive Oil. To make the Blackberry Glaze I’ll need Smucker’s Sugarless Blackberry Jam, Red Wine Vinegar, Splenda Sugar, and Ground Cinnamon.



First I mixed my Blackberry Glaze and set it aside until ready to use. I left the recipe for this at the end of the post. To prepare the Tenderloin I’ll be baking it. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Next sprayed a shallow baking pan with Pam Non Stick Cooking Spray and add a tablespoon of the Extra Light Olive Oil to it. Then place the Tenderloins in the baking pan. With about 10 minutes of cooking time left I Glazed on of the Tenderloins. Bake until meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion of the meat reaches 165°F, approximately 62 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover and let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Started slicing it and it’s so very tender and moist. It has a fantastic taste. The Applewood Smoke and combination of Spices it was marinated in was perfect! Good job Jennie- O. For the added Blackberry Glaze , it was perfect! It went with the Turkey perfectly.










For one side I prepared a box of the Idahoan Steakhouse Bacon and Ranch Red Potatoes. As all the Idahoan Potato Products it's easy to prepare and delicious! To prepare it; In 1 1/2 qt casserole dish, combine potatoes, contents of sauce pouch, 2 Tbsp butter, and 1 3/4 cups boiling water. Next add 3/4 cup milk and stir to combine. Bake uncovered at 425°F for 30 minutes. Sprinkle bacon on top of potatoes. Let stand 5 minutes, then serve! I've had these a couple of times now and love them. Good Potato Dish to go with about anything.




For another side I prepared a can of Bush’s Mixed Chili Beans – Kidney and Pinto Beans in Mild Chili Sauce. These are fairly new and as all the Bush’s Bean Products Delicious! For me you just

can’t beat Bush’s Beans. I’ve prepared these a couple of times now and really like them, nice combo using the Kidney and Pinto Beans. To prepare them just empty the Beans into a small sauce pan. Cover and heat to a simmer. Done! Being new they are sort of hard to find. The only store I have found them is Meijer so far. I had also baked a loaf of RiverRoad Bake House Garlic Oval Loaf Bread. This has become the family’s favorite Baked Bread. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Coke Zero to drink.
