Bacon-Wrapped Turkey "Filet Mignons"

Tonight for dinner I made this recipe for Bacon-Wrapped Turkey "Filet Mignons". It was pretty good and very easy. I think I will probably make these again. I think these also would be good with seasoning/spices and grilled or even baked. *Note: I did not make the spinach.

INGREDIENTS

2 turkey tenderloins (8–10 oz. each)

 

8 strips thin-sliced bacon

 

Kosher Salt and black pepper

 

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided

 

1 Tbsp. minced garlic

 

½ tsp. red pepper flakes

 

2 bags leaf spinach, stemmed (10 oz. each

 

Kosher salt to taste

 

Lemon wedges

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut each tenderloin crosswise into 4 steaks. Wrap each with a strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick; season with salt and pepper.

Sauté turkey with 2 Tbsp. oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat until golden brown, about ⏰ 3 minutes per side. Turn filets on edges and brown the bacon all around, 3–4 minutes. Turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°.

Let turkey rest ⏰ 3 minutes, then remove toothpicks.

Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic and pepper flakes; sauté just until fragrant.

Add spinach, tossing with tongs until wilted; season with salt.

Serve turkey with lemon wedges to squeeze over meat and garlic spinach.
