Turkey Breast, Broccoli, garlic, skillet

There’s something wonderfully comforting about a simple skillet dish, especially when it’s bursting with fresh flavors. This recipe brings together tender turkey breast and vibrant broccoli, all infused with the warmth of garlic. Perfect for a cozy dinner, it serves four and is sure to impress without taking too much time in the kitchen.

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

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by seasoning the turkey breast fillets with salt and pepper. Set them aside for a moment.
  2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, drizzle a generous amount of olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

This dish is not just a feast for the eyes but also a comforting hug for the soul. With its simple preparation and fresh ingredients, it’s a delightful way to enjoy a wholesome meal that brings the Mediterranean spirit right to your table. Enjoy every bite!
