Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Turkey breast
- 2 large Fresh garlic cloves
- 2 Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 3 Fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 medium Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 500 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash the turkey breast thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to form a marinade.
Rub the garlic marinade evenly over the turkey breast, ensuring all sides are coated. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Meanwhile, cut the lemon into thin slices and set aside.
Prepare a steamer by filling the bottom compartment with 500 milliliters of water. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Place the rosemary and thyme sprigs on the steaming basket to create a fragrant base.
Layer the lemon slices over the herbs, then place the marinated turkey breast on top.
Cover the steamer with a lid and steam the turkey for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the turkey reaches 75°C (165°F).
Once cooked, carefully remove the turkey from the steamer and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the turkey breast and serve warm alongside steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete sugar-free meal.
