⏱️ Cooking Time: 20 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Begin by preparing the turkey breast cutlet. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which ensures better browning during grilling. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper; this step enhances the natural flavors of the meat and helps to form a savory crust.
  2. 2.
    In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and dried rosemary. Stir until well mixed, then pour this marinade over the turkey cutlet. Massage the marinade into the meat using your hands, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  3. 3.
    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Once hot, place the turkey cutlet on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping once. You're looking for the cutlet to achieve a nice char and grill marks, while reaching an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
  4. 4.
    Once the turkey cutlet is grilled to perfection, remove it from the heat and let it rest on a plate covered loosely with aluminum foil. Resting for 5 minutes will let the juices redistribute, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful bite.
  5. 5.
    Slice the turkey cutlet against the grain and serve immediately. This method ensures tenderness, making each bite satisfying and full of flavor. Pair with your favorite high-protein side or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
