Ingredients
- 500 grams turkey breast fillets
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 units lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
Place turkey breast fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound each fillet to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Step 2
In a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, mix lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, paprika, black pepper, and salt (if using).
Step 3
Place the turkey fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, remove the turkey fillets from the marinade (letting any excess drip off) and place them in the skillet.
Step 5
Cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and lightly browned. The turkey should be firm to the touch and reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Step 6
Transfer the cooked turkey to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and garnish with lemon slices.
Step 7
Serve the turkey steaks immediately, with a side of green salad or steamed vegetables for a heart-healthy meal.
