Ingredients
    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    3 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, chopped
    2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves, chopped
    1 pinch red pepper flakes
    kosher salt and black pepper
    2 turkey tenderloins, about 12 oz. each
    1 strip bacon, diced
    2 tablespoons shallots, ninced
    2/3 cup dry white wine
    2/3 cup apple juice
    3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
    2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    1/2 lemon, juiced
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
    1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Preparation
    Coat grill with nonstick spray; preheat to medium.
    Combine oil, parsley, oregano, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag or pie dish. Add turkey and marinate 15 minutes.
    Saute bacon in a small pan over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes; drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 1 tablespoons drippings. Add shallot to pan and cook until soft, about 1 minute. Deglaze pan with wine and apple juice; simmer 3 minutes. Whisk in syrup, Dijon, and lemon juice; bring sauce to a simmer.
    Blend butter and flour; whisk into sauce. Simmer sauce until thickened, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
    Grill turkey over direct heat, covered, for 8 minutes, then turn, cover, and cook to an internal temperature of 160\u00b0, 8-10 minutes more. Let turkey rest 5 minutes before slicing.
    Drizzle turkey slices with sauce and sprinkle with reserved bacon and chives.
