  • Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons 30 ml
  • Garlic cloves: 2 minced
  • Dried oregano: 1 teaspoon 5 ml
  • Fresh thyme: 1 teaspoon chopped
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon 2.5 ml
  • Black pepper: ¼ teaspoon 1.25 ml

  • Greek yogurt: ½ cup 120 ml
  • Feta cheese: 3 oz. 85 grams, crumbled

Method
 

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR LOW CARB GRILLED GREEK TURKEY CUTLETS
  1. Begin by taking your turkey cutlets and laying them out on a flat surface.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk them together until well combined.
  3. Pour this marinade over the turkey cutlets, ensuring they’re well-coated on both sides.
  4. Let the turkey sit in the marinade for about 15 minutes. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be!
  5. Preheat your grill on medium-high heat.
  6. Once heated, place the turkey cutlets on the grill. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Once cooked, remove the turkey cutlets from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes. This will lock in the juices.
  8. In a separate bowl, mix together Greek yogurt and crumbled feta cheese. This will be your creamy feta topping.
  9. Arrange your sliced cucumbers and halved cherry tomatoes on the plate.

Notes

TIPS TO ELEVATE YOUR LOW CARB GRILLED GREEK TURKEY CUTLETS EXPERIENCE
You can add a drizzle of tzatziki sauce for an added zest.
Always allow your meat to come to room temperature before grilling; it ensures even cooking.
A charcoal grill can provide a smokier flavor to the cutlets.
Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can be added for garnish.
