Turkey Tenders with Cranberry Yogurt Dipping Sauce

I love chicken nuggets. Or in this case, turkey nuggets. I've discovered that you can bread meat in just about anything and it's always good-- panko, regular bread crumbs, pretzel, pita. Not only that, the seasoning possibilities are endless. Well, these are pretty basic, but I really liked them. They're easy and healthy (from the Clean Eating  website). My husband really liked the dipping sauce. I thought it was way too tangy. I used my favorite nugget dipping sauce, honey, to make it better. It is really good with the honey. You can adjust the amount of honey to your own taste--I highly recommend it.

Turkey Tenders with Cranberry Yogurt Dipping Sauce

2 whole-wheat pita breads

1 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp chopped fresh sage
1 lb turkey tenderloins
1 clove garlic, split
2 tsp olive oil

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place pita breads on the foil and bake until dry and crispy, about 7 to 10 minutes.

When the pita breads are cool enough to handle, break them up and grind them into coarse crumbs with a food processor. Stir in salt and fresh sage. Place the seasoned crumbs onto a plate.

Dry off turkey tenderloins with a paper towel. Rub split garlic clove all over the meat. Cut the tenderloins into 1 1/2-inch chunks and place in a bowl. Add olive oil to bowl and, using your hands, mix until the meat is evenly covered with the oil.

Roll each piece of turkey in the seasoned bread crumbs until well coated and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the turkey is cooked through and no pink remains. Serve warm with Cranberry Yogurt Dipping Sauce.
