🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 4 pieces (about 4-6 oz each) Turkey cutlets
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

2. Place the turkey cutlets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the turkey, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

4. Remove the turkey cutlets from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

5. Place the turkey cutlets on the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the cutlets are golden brown with grill marks.

6. Remove from the grill and let the turkey rest for 3-5 minutes to retain juices before serving.

7. Serve the citrus grilled turkey cutlets with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a light salad. Enjoy!
