Steamed Turkey Tenderloins

Rice can be cooked while steaming at the same time. Refer to your instruction manual for directions.

Prep: 5 min. Total: 30 min. Yield: Serves 4.

2 turkey tenderloins, about 10-11 ounce each
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
3 cups water

Add 3 cups of water to inner pot, place inner pot in rice cooker, cover and press Steam/Cook button to let water come to a boil. Season tenderloins with salt and pepper. Place tenderloins in the steam tray.

You may also choose a plate that is just large enough to fit into the steam tray with about 1/2-inch clearance for steam circulation. If using a plate, spray with nonstick cooking spray before placing tenderloins on the plate and cover with plastic wrap before placing in the steam tray.

When water has come to a boil in the rice cooker, carefully open the lid, keeping hands and face away to avoid steam burns. Using oven mitts (inner pot will be hot), carefully place the steam tray into the rice cooker, cover and steam for about 25 minutes. Check after 20 minutes with an instant meat thermometer. Turkey should reach about 160 degrees F and not be pink in the center. Using oven mitts, remove steam tray from rice cooker. A general rule is to stand for about 15 minutes per 1- inch thickness. Refrigerate if not serving immediately.
