Recipe: Turkey Tenderloins with Caramelized Onions

TURKEY TENDERLOINS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

1 tsp vegetable oil
2 turkey breast tenderloins about 1 1/2 pounds
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper, divided use
1/3 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
2 tbsp margarine or butter
4 large onions, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
1 tbsp brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme (or 1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves)
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Heat 12-inch skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle both sides of turkey with salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper. Cook turkey in oil about 5 minutes, turning once, until brown on both sides.

Pour wine or broth into skillet; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 30 to 40 minutes, or until juice of turkey is no longer pink when centers of thickest part are cut. Remove turkey from skillet; keep warm.

Melt margarine in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onions in margarine 5 minutes, stirring frequently; reduce heat to medium.

Stir in brown sugar, thyme and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown.

Slice turkey. Serve turkey with onions.
