Turkey breast tenderloins roasted with slices of fresh orange and loads of garlic, served with a spicy sauce made with the pan drippings, capers and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Molto delizioso!

Recipe Ingredients:

6 oranges
8 cloves garlic
1 package (about 1 pound) Honeysuckle White® Turkey Breast Tenderloins
Salt and black pepper
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon rinsed capers
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
Pinch of red pepper flakes

4. Season turkey with salt and pepper; place in pan on top of oranges.
5. Juice 2 oranges and pour juice over turkey.
