Turkey Tenderloin

Turkey tenderloin is a cut of meat from the pectoralis minor muscle of a turkey, located beneath the breast. It is known for being tender and lean. It is often sold as whole tenderloins or cut into strips or cubes.

Manufacturers use turkey tenderloin as a primary protein source in a variety of dishes. It is commonly found in frozen dinners, pot pies, and seasoned meat blends. Its mild flavor and tender texture make it versatile for many recipes.

Turkey tenderloin is a source of protein, B vitamins, and minerals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers turkey a safe and wholesome food. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not specifically evaluated turkey tenderloin as a food additive, as it is a whole food ingredient. Consumption of lean meats as part of a balanced diet is generally considered healthy.
