Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Step 2
Rinse the turkey breasts under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 5
Remove the turkey breasts from the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Grill the turkey breasts for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the turkey is no longer pink in the center.
Step 7
Remove from the grill and let the turkey rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Serve the grilled turkey breasts with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
