Yield: Makes 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients:
2/3
cup fresh orange juice, divided

3
tablespoons minced shallots or onion

1/2
teaspoon grated lemon peel

1/2
teaspoon grated lime peel

2
tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2
tablespoons fresh lime juice

2
whole turkey tenderloins (about 3/4 pound each)

1
tablespoon olive oil

1/2
teaspoon salt

2-1/2
tablespoons honey

1
teaspoon cornstarch



 
Preparation:
1.
Combine 1/3 cup orange juice, shallots, lemon peel, lime peel, lemon juice and lime juice in small bowl; mix well. Reserve 1/3 cup of juice mixture; cover and refrigerate. Place turkey in large resealable food storage bag; add remaining juice mixture to bag. Seal bag tightly, turning to coat. Marinate in refrigerator 1 to 2 hours, turning once.

2.
Prepare grill for direct cooking.

3.
Drain turkey; discard marinade from bag. Brush turkey with oil; sprinkle with salt. Place turkey on grid. Grill turkey, on covered grill, over medium-hot coals 15 to 20 minutes or until no longer pink in center, turning halfway through grilling time. (If desired, insert instant-read thermometer* into center of thickest part of tenderloin. Thermometer should register 170°F.)
*Do not leave instant-read thermometer in tenderloins during grilling since the thermometer is not heatproof.

4.
Meanwhile, combine reserved juice mixture and honey in small saucepan. Combine remaining 1/3 cup orange juice and cornstarch in small bowl; mix until smooth. Add to juice mixture in saucepan. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat about 5 minutes or until thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup.

5.
Transfer turkey to carving board. Carve turkey crosswise into thin slices; drizzle with sauce.
