Ingredients
- 4 turkey breast fillets
- 300g broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by seasoning the turkey breast fillets with salt and pepper. Set them aside for a moment.
- Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, drizzle a generous amount of olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Cook the Turkey: Add the turkey breast fillets to the skillet. Sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the turkey from the skillet and let it rest on a plate.
- Sauté the Garlic and Broccoli: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, then toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, add the broccoli florets and stir-fry them for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Combine and Finish: Return the turkey to the skillet with the broccoli, and give everything a gentle toss. If you like, sprinkle the lemon zest over the top for a lovely zing.
- Serve: Plate the turkey and broccoli, drizzling any pan juices over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for that pop of color.
