My Traeger Grill is amazing and I made the most delicious turkey tenderloin on it this week. It’s juicy and delicious and the leftovers are great in lots of recipes!
 
I bought a turkey tenderloin a while back – but when the quarantine hit – I went through my freezer and made a list of everything in it so I knew what I had to work with! 
 

I also decided this will be the summer of the Traeger! I was given this grill a couple years ago and have only used it a couple of times – but 2020 is the year for me! I’m going to learn how to be a grillin mamajama! 

Can Traeger grills be stored outside?

Yes – for sure! I would just be sure to get a Traeger cover for your grill model (I have the Pro Series 22). They’re specially made to fit the smoke stacks. I had my Traeger on my outdoor deck for 2 years under a cover and hadn’t touched it! I “fired” it up and it worked like a charm! 

How to use your Traeger grill

This how-to video is REALLY helpful – I watched it a couple of times as I was getting re-acquainted and it was great! But – here are the steps: 
 
– Plug in your Traeger Grill and make sure you have pellets in the hopper
– Turn knob to Smoke and Power On with the lid open
– In a few minutes the grill will start to smoke
– Once it smokes, shut the lid and set the temp
– Once it hits temp – put your food on the grill 
– After you’re done – turn knob to Shut Down and the fan will shut off in five minutes
– Then you can turn power off 
– Once cooled, recover the grill 

How to cook turkey tenderloin?

I used a two-pound Honeysuckle Turkey Breast Tenderloin to grill this Turkey Tenderloin. I meant to get a plain tenderloin so I could create a marinade but when I pulled it out of the freezer – it was a rotisserie flavored marinade – guess that’s what I’m using. 


You can cook these tenderloin pieces in the oven, air fryer or grill. 

How long to cook turkey breast tenderloin

I grilled my turkey tenderloin on the Traeger at 350 degrees for 25 minutes and it was at 165 degrees. I always use an Instant Read Thermometer – they’re super cheap now and it gives you complete confidence that your chicken, turkey, pork and beef are ready. 

 

What to serve with grilled turkey tenderloin? 

I made roasted carrots – I figured I was heating up the grill – I might as well use the whole grill! I sliced up carrots into sticks and tossed them in a little olive oil and coarse sea salt – then popped them into a cast iron skillet. I put them on the grill at the same time as the turkey and they came out perfectly!!!
 
Here are some other great side dishes: 
– Creamy Macaroni & Cheese
– Italian Green Beans
– Air Fryer Sweet Potato
 

This smoked turkey breast tenderloin cooked on a Traeger grill was a perfect meal and I had leftovers for days! I couldn’t believe how juicy the turkey came out. The grill really sealed in the juices and flavor – it was delicious! 

 

You can use leftover turkey for lots of different recipes – really anything where you would use grilled chicken! Salads are great – I ate my leftovers on salads every day! This Applebee’s Southwest Lime Salad was a great one to try! Or if you’re feeling like pasta – this Olive Garden Chicken Tortellini is delicious as well! And if you’re wanting to be healthy – this Copycat Lean Cuisine Ranch Club Flatbread Melt is just the trick!
