Turkey Tenderloins - WINNER DINNER!

I found these in the Walmart Superstore and decided to give them a try for dinner - and what a winner!! They were eaten so fast I couldn't get a picture of the finished meal but I promise I will make them again and come back and put one here. If you click on the picture you are taken to the Jennie-O site that shows their nutritional value - only 1.5 grams of fat per serving.I made Apricot-Herb Roasted Turkey Tenderloin, Skinny Mashed Potatoes, Light Cranberry Sauce and Pear Walnut Salad for dinner - all in about 30 minutes or less.Roasted Turkey TenderloinPreheat oven to 350 degrees. Place tenderloins in baking dish and coat with apricot jam. Add chopped onions and top the tenderloins with rosemary, thyme, black pepper and granulated garlic/parsley mix.
