Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs turkey tenderloin

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 lemons (juice and zest of one, slices of the other)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 lb baby potatoes, halved

2 cups green beans, trimmed

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Marinate the Turkey: In a bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the turkey tenderloin in a resealable bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours to enhance the flavor.

      Prepare the Vegetables: While the turkey is marinating, prepare the baby potatoes and green beans. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-coated.

        Arrange on Sheet Pan: On a large sheet pan, scatter the seasoned baby potatoes. Remove the turkey tenderloin from the marinade and place it in the center of the pan. Add the green beans around the turkey and potatoes. Top the turkey with lemon slices.

          Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender and golden brown.

            Rest and Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Let the turkey rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the turkey and vegetables. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional lemon wedges if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy your delicious lemon garlic turkey tenderloin with the roasted vegetables!
