Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Turkey breast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the turkey breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the turkey, making sure to coat all surfaces.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and let the turkey marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a more intense flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the turkey from sticking.
Remove the turkey breasts from the marinade and place them on the grill. Discard any remaining marinade.
Grill the turkey for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
Once fully cooked, remove the turkey from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the grilled turkey breasts with your favorite Paleo-friendly side dishes.
