Most people don't even think of turkey unless it's November or December OR they use ground turkey for various recipes. How about grilled turkey with a Southwest flair? Try this and you won't relegate turkey just to Thanksgiving anymore.
Southwest Grilled Turkey
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tsp olive oil
2 cup diced plum tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp minced fresh jalapeno pepper
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
Directions:
With a meat mallet, flatten turkey breast to about 1/2-inch thickness (this aids in even cooking). Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place in a shallow baking dish.
Combine lime juice and olive oil and pour over turkey, coating evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours, turning occasionally. Combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper and vinegar. Cover and chill.
Preheat grill. Place turkey on grill for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with remaining marinade.
Remove when done and cover with foil . Let turkey rest for 10 minutes before cutting into thin slices. Serve with salsa and add a colorful slaw or mixed greens salad.
