#35 Try a new recipe each month.

So far we have tried a new turkey recipe this month. Honestly, I was not impressed. It seemed bland to me but my husband thought I was crazy and he loved it.


Roasted Turkey Tenderloin with New Potatoes and Tarragon Broth

2006 Robin Miller- Food Network



Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 (1 1/2 pound) turkey tenderloins
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds new red potatoes or baby red potatoes, quartered (if bigger, cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
  • 4 tablespoons store bought peach, cranberry or mango chutney

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place oil in a large baking dish. Season turkey tenderloins all over with salt and black pepper and place in baking dish. Arrange potatoes all around turkey and turn to coat with oil. Season potatoes with salt and black pepper. Arrange shallots over potatoes in pan.
In a small bowl, combine wine, broth, vinegar, and tarragon. Pour mixture over turkey.
Roast turkey and potatoes 40 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers at least 160 degrees F. Let turkey rest 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve half of the turkey and potatoes with this meal, with all of the broth from the pan over top. Serve spinach on the side. Reserve remaining turkey and potatoes for additional meals.

# 44 - Donate Clothes to Goodwill

I decided to purge my closet and drawers of anything that I have not worn in over a year.  These are things that I have been hanging on to for some reason or another. I just needed to let go because the chances of me wearing them let alone fitting in them are very slim.  So I brought over to large kitchen bags filled to the Salvation Army.
