Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the turkey fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the turkey fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that each fillet is well coated in the marinade.
Let the turkey marinate for at least 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to coat the pan.
Once the pan is hot, place the marinated turkey fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the turkey is golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the turkey fillets from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges if desired, and serve hot.
