Grilled Spicy Turkey Tenderloin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 Pound Turkey Tenderloins
1/3 C. onion chopped
1 jalapeño pepper seeded and minced
2 tsp. olive oil
1 Can (15-oz.) black beans rinsed and well drained
1 Can (8 3/4-oz.) corn drained
1/3 C. tomato chopped
2 T. fresh cilantro chopped
1 lime quartered
In small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper; sprinkle one half of mixture over turkey. In medium, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onion and jalapeño pepper in oil 2 to 3 minutes, or until onion softens. Add beans, corn, tomatoes, remaining chili powder mixture and cilantro. Cook 25 to 30 minutes or until mixture is heated throughout. Meanwhile, preheat charcoal grill for direct-heat cooking. Grill 15 to 20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in center and meat thermometer reaches 160 degrees F. Allow tenderloins to stand 10 minutes before serving. To serve, squeeze lime wedge over each serving.

Notes: Turkey Tenderloins are part of the turkey breast, cut off the bone. I get Foster Farms brand in my local stores, which run about 120 calories for 4 onces of meat. I like this recipe served with a cold vegetable salad of some kind. Chopped cucumber salad with non fat yogurt and a bit of ground coriander is especially nice, but any cool side dish would complement the warm relish and grilled turkey.
