Don't skimp on marinating these turkey tenderloins! Marinating time is important as it helps lock in moisture so the turkey stays tender during its time on the grill.

Ready In
- Cut each turkey tenderloin in half horizontally to make four steaks. Place turkey steaks in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, whisk together the mint, lime peel, lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons marinade; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade over turkey in bag; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
- Drain turkey steaks, discarding marinade. For a charcoal grill, place turkey on the grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes or until no longer pink (170°F), turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place turkey on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as directed.)
- Meanwhile, place cantaloupe in a medium bowl. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons reserved marinade over cantaloupe and toss to coat. Serve turkey with cantaloupe and lime wedges and garnish with mint sprigs.
