Butter Turkey Tenderloin - Pan Seared Oven Roasted with Gravy

Moist and tender. Pan seared and basted with butter and you have some serious taste.

There seems to be very few instructions for cooking these things. They have no skin and are a triangular piece of breast meat.

I started with a light salt and peppering (is that a word?), pan seared in some butter and finished in the over with more butter during the roasting.

Adapted for a Food Network Paula Deen recipe. I looked at it and though it needed a little cumin so I did a test cooking the day before the big party and taste tested with my wife. The cumin stayed.

Grilled Chicken Strips from 101 Cooking For Two
A quick and easy grilling. A lot of people have a problem with grilling a skinless boneless chicken breast. They make hockey pucks. Their issue is by the time they get the center done to the point it won't make them sick, the outside and edges are overcooked.

I saved the best for last. The chicken and beef fajitas were great. I rated them 5. But this is a shoe in for top ten of the year. Mexican and pork. Oh what a combo. Add in the grill and you have one of the best 30 minute meals ever.
