For the Turkey
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
1 1/4 lbs turkey tenderloins, seasoned with
salt & pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Almond Gravy
1/4 cup dry sherry
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

1
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
2
Pulse 1/3 cup almonds in mini food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a shallow dish and stir in panko. Roll tenderloins in almond-panko mixture to coat.
3
Heat oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat, 2 minutes. Sear tenderloins until golden, about 5 minutes. Flip and saute until meat registers 160 degrees on an instant read thermometer, about 5-8 minutes more. Remove tenderloins from pan, transfer to a baking sheet, and keep them warm in the oven. Return pan to heat.
4
Whisk sherry and flour together to form a slurry.
5
Deglaze pan with broth, scraping up browned bits from bottom. Stir in slurry, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Boil 1 minute to eliminate flour taste, then simmer to thicken slightly. Stir in butter until melted, then add almonds. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
