Ingredients
- 500 grams Turkey breast fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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).
Step 5
Remove the turkey from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps lock in the juices, keeping the turkey moist.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the turkey fillets before serving to add freshness and color.
Step 7
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
