Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Turkey breast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional)
- 500 ml Water
Instructions
Cut the turkey breast into evenly sized fillets, about 1 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the turkey fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the turkey marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Prepare a steamer setup: fill a steamer pot or a large saucepan with 500 ml of water and bring it to a gentle boil. Place a steaming basket or insert above the water.
Arrange the marinated turkey fillets in a single layer in the steaming basket. Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
If desired, place lemon slices on top of the turkey fillets for added flavor and aroma.
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the turkey over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the steamer and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve alongside keto-friendly vegetables like steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
