Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Turkey breast (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 cup Jicama (peeled and diced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper (diced)
- 0.25 cup Red onion (finely diced)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Jalapeño (optional, finely diced)
Instructions
Preheat the grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub the turkey breasts with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground cumin.
Place the turkey breasts on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove the turkey from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the turkey cooks, prepare the jicama ginger salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the jicama, grated ginger, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey until well combined. Drizzle the mixture over the salsa and toss to coat evenly. If desired, add finely diced jalapeño for a spicy kick.
Serve the turkey breasts warm, topped with a generous spoonful of jicama ginger salsa. Enjoy!
