Ingredients
- 500 g Turkey breast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional)
- 500 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the turkey breast into evenly sized fillets, about 1 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Rub the marinade all over the turkey fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the turkey marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4
Prepare a steamer setup: fill a steamer pot or a large saucepan with 500 ml of water and bring it to a gentle boil. Place a steaming basket or insert above the water.
Step 5
Arrange the marinated turkey fillets in a single layer in the steaming basket. Make sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Step 6
If desired, place lemon slices on top of the turkey fillets for added flavor and aroma.
Step 7
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the turkey over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the steamer and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve alongside keto-friendly vegetables like steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
