Grilled Turkey With Fresh Herbs

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time5 minutes
Marinating Time1 hour
Servings: 4
Calories: 148kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 pound turkey breast cutlets
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Marinade Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk (4 tablespoon buttermilk powder + 1 cup water)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Season the turkey breast cutlets with the salt
  • Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and add the turkey cutlets, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for about an hour (30 minutes will also be fine).
  • Fire up the grill on medium-high heat (or heat a skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop), discard the excess marinade and cook the turkey breasts until a thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 °F.
    Word of warning - these turkey breast cutlets cook FAST!!! Do not walk away!! Try to cook for one minute, flip over and cook the other side for another minute, then use the thermometer to check for doneness.

Notes

Buttermilk works as a marinade because it is acidic.   I like to use Saco brand powdered buttermilk because it lasts forever, is fat-free, and is easy to find in most supermarket baking aisles.  Not advertising, just pointing out that Saco buttermilk is easy to find.
