Turkey doesn’t have to be just for Thanksgiving. It’s so easy to make turkey tenderloins for a great alternative to chicken or pork.

Taste – Using dry onion soup mix gives the turkey and gravy so much flavor.

Versatile – A great meal to make for a cozy family dinner but tasty enough to serve during the holiday season. This recipe stays on our menu rotation all year long.

Ingredients needed

  • Turkey tenderloin – They are typically packaged with two tenderloins. I am using the Jennie-O brand but feel free to use your favorite tenderloin.
  • Cream of chicken soup – You can use cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup for this recipe.
  • Onion soup mix – Dry onion soup mix, like Lipton’s, can typically be found in the soup section of the grocery store.
  • Chicken broth – Used to make the gravy in the slow cooker.

This recipe can also be made using a package of boneless, skinless chicken breast or pork tenderloin.

Step four: Place lid on the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours or low heat for 6-8 hours.

Recipe tips

  • Make sure to pat the tenderloins dry before placing in the slow cooker.
  • Use a meat thermometer to make sure the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F before serving.

How to store leftovers

Store: Package leftover turkey and gravy in an airtight container after it has cooled to room temperature. I like to spoon out the gravy into a separate container than the turkey to make it easier to reheat. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat: Reheat the gravy in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stove. You can reheat the turkey back in the crockpot or in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes or until heated through.

What to serve with turkey tenderloins in crockpot

This turkey with onion soup gravy goes well served over mashed potatoes, rice, even pasta. Some of our other favorite side dishes to serve are green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, cranberry jello salad, stuffing balls and more.
