Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the turkey breast fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the fillets to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the turkey fillets to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the turkey fillets from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the fillets on the grill.
Grill the turkey fillets for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are no longer pink in the center.
Once cooked, transfer the turkey fillets to a clean plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious low-fat grilled turkey with a side of your choice.
