Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.

- Once they have reached 145 degrees, turn on the broil for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the tenderloins from the oven and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
- Bake the leftover dressing in an 8 x 8 casserole for 45 minutes on a lower shelf in the oven while the tenderloin is baking.
