Combine the spices in a small bowl. Pat dry the turkey with a paper towel.
Sprinkle the spices on the turkey breasts and press them well into the meat, ensuring all sides are covered. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat the olive oil in an iron skillet on medium-high heat until smoking hot. Cook the turkey, turning occasionally until golden crust forms on all sides.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 25 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 155F.
Leave the turkey tenderloin to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
