Begin by placing the turkey breast fillets on a cutting board. If the fillets are particularly thick, use a meat mallet to gently pound them to a uniform thickness of about 1 centimeter.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the turkey fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the dish and let the turkey marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the turkey fillets. Cook each side for about 6-8 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and has a nice golden brown sear. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
Remove the turkey from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps lock in the juices, keeping the turkey moist.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the turkey fillets before serving to add freshness and color.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
