– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Creating Baked Turkey Tenders is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Breading Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Prepare the Egg Wash: In another bowl, beat the eggs and add olive oil. This will help the breadcrumb mixture stick to the turkey.
4. Coat the Turkey: Dip each turkey tenderloin first into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off. Then, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated turkey tenders on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
7. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
These steps will guide you to create crispy and flavorful baked turkey tenders that everyone will love.
