Ingredients:
- 1 turkey breast (about 2 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's ready to infuse your turkey breast with that irresistible smoky flavor.
2. Marinate for Maximum Flavor: In a bowl, concoct a tantalizing marinade by blending olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. This flavorful mixture will serve as the essence of your grilled masterpiece.
3. Coat and Infuse: Place the turkey breast in a shallow dish and generously coat it with the aromatic marinade. Ensure every nook and cranny of the turkey is infused with the zesty blend. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
4.Grill to Perfection: Once the turkey has soaked up all the goodness of the marinade, it's time to bring it to life on the grill. Lay the turkey breast over the heat and let it sizzle for approximately 6-8 minutes per side. Keep a watchful eye, aiming for that perfect golden-brown exterior while ensuring the interior cooks to juicy perfection.
5. Char the Citrus: During the final minutes of grilling, introduce slices of lemon to the grill, allowing them to char slightly and release their tangy essence.
6.Rest and Slice: Once the turkey breast has achieved its culinary zenith, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few moments, allowing the juices to redistribute. Then, carve into succulent slices, ready to delight your eager taste buds.
