Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Place the turkey breast fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the fillets to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the turkey fillets to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the turkey fillets from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the fillets on the grill.
Step 6
Grill the turkey fillets for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are no longer pink in the center.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the turkey fillets to a clean plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious low-fat grilled turkey with a side of your choice.
