Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs turkey tenderloin

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 lemons (juice and zest of one, slices of the other)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 lb baby potatoes, halved

2 cups green beans, trimmed

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting.

    Marinate the Turkey: In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, juice and zest of one lemon, olive oil, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended. Place the turkey tenderloin in a resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing it to marinate for 1-2 hours for deeper flavor infusion.

      Prepare the Vegetables: While the turkey is marinating, prepare your vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with a splash of olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, and black pepper. Mix until the potatoes are evenly coated.

        Arrange on Sheet Pan: On a large, parchment-lined sheet pan, spread out the seasoned baby potatoes in a single layer. Take the marinated turkey tenderloin out of the fridge, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and place it in the center of the pan. Surround the turkey with the prepared green beans and lay the lemon slices on top of the turkey for added flavor.

          Roast: Carefully place the sheet pan in the preheated oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the turkey tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), and the vegetables are fork-tender and have a lovely golden brown color.

            Rest and Serve: Upon removing the sheet pan from the oven, let the turkey rest for about 5 minutes to lock in its juices. Slice the turkey and drizzle any remaining pan juices over both the turkey and the vegetables. Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and serving with additional lemon wedges for an extra zesty kick.

              Enjoy: Serve your hot and flavorful lemon garlic turkey tenderloin alongside the roasted vegetables, and relish this delicious and vibrant dish!
