Begin by placing the turkey breast fillets on a clean cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare a marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all the components are properly combined.
Add the turkey fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
While the turkey is marinating, heat a grill pan or a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the pan is hot, add a dash of olive oil and arrange the sliced onion and red bell pepper in the pan. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the marinated turkey fillets. Cook on each side for about 5-6 minutes, or until the turkey is thoroughly cooked and has a beautiful golden sear.
Remove the turkey fillets from the pan and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley just before serving to enhance the dish's fragrance and flavor.
Serve the turkey fillets hot, accompanied by the sautéed onion and red bell pepper. Enjoy your high-protein meal!
