Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Turkey breast, boneless and skinless
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, lemon juice, rosemary, and thyme to create a marinade.
Place the turkey breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the turkey, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
Remove the turkey from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off.
Place the turkey on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until an internal thermometer reads 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result.
Slice the turkey breast and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite low-sodium sides for a complete meal.
