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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rub the turkey breasts with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground cumin.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Serve the turkey breasts warm, topped with a generous spoonful of jicama ginger salsa. Enjoy!
