For the Tenderloin Rub:
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 325 degrees F.
Make the rub: Mix together sage, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set it aside.
Dry the tenderloins: Pat dry turkey tenderloins with paper towels on both sides.
Coat with oil: Drizzle them with a tablespoon of olive oil and coat them on both sides.
Add the rub: Sprinkle them with the prepared turkey tenderloin rub on both sides.
Heat the oil: Heat the remaining oil in a large stainless steel skillet (or a cast iron skillet) until shimmering hot.
Sear: Sear turkey tenderloins for 1 minute on each side until lightly browned.
Bake: Place the skillet in the oven and roast tenderloins until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 155 degrees for 15 minutes.
Rest: Take it out of the oven and cover it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes. As it sits, it should come to 165 degrees (the safe temperature for turkey) without drying.
Serve: Slice and serve.
