Slow Cooker Turkey Tenderloin

Gluten-Free/Dairy-Free/Keto/Paleo

The first time my mom made this for us, I said in disbelief, “Turkey tenderloin? I didn’t even know those existed!!” Fully expecting the meat to be dry when I took a bite, it was incredibly moist and tender. The original recipe that she looked up was for a pork tenderloin with soy sauce, but she wanted to try a healthier version by using turkey in its place. When I got a hold of it, the soy sauce was switched out with coconut aminos. Personally, I prefer coconut aminos to soy sauce anyway, so it was a win-win here!

Since making healthy prepared meals can be a challenge, this is one of my favorite options. It’s Whole 30 compliant, Paleo-friendly, Keto-friendly, really easy, and it makes enough for about 6 servings. Typically when I make this for our family, there are two servings left for me to stash away for lunch for the next couple of days. I’ll throw this in with a salad or some Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts. Next challenge is to make this in an InstantPot for a quicker option! Unfortunately, I have to wait for these insane home renovations to be finished before I get an InstantPot because we have NO room for it right now. Please send wine. And an InstantPot.
