Step 1: Whisk the Liquid Base. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Whisk them together until the oil and juice are well incorporated and the mixture looks uniform.
Step 2: Add Aromatics and Seasoning. Add the minced garlic, honey, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and black pepper to the bowl. Continue whisking until the honey is completely dissolved and the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
Step 3: Combine with the Turkey. Place your turkey tenderloins into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow glass dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the meat, ensuring every surface is well coated. If using a bag, artist squeeze out the excess air before sealing it tightly.
Step 4: Chill and Marinate. Place the turkey in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least two hours. For the best results and deepest flavor, you can let it marinate for up to six hours, turning the bag occasionally to redistribute the juices.
Step 5: Cook to Perfection. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator and cook using your preferred method, such as roasting in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, let the meat rest for five to ten minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
