How to Make Citrus Grilled Turkey Cutlets

  1. **Prepare the Marinade:** In a medium shallow dish, whisk together lemon juice (1/4 cup), lime juice (1/4 cup), honey (2 tablespoons), minced garlic (2 cloves), oregano (1 teaspoon), thyme (1 teaspoon), rosemary (1 teaspoon), black pepper (1/2 teaspoon), and cayenne pepper (1/4 teaspoon, optional).
  2. **Marinate the Turkey:** Add the turkey cutlets to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. **Prepare the Grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For charcoal grills, wait until the coals are covered with white ash.
  4. **Grill the Turkey:** Remove the turkey cutlets from the marinade (reserve 1/4 cup of marinade for basting). Place the cutlets on the preheated grill grates.
  5. **Cook and Baste:** Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.
  6. **Rest and Serve:** Remove the turkey cutlets from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender meat.
  7. **Enjoy!** Serve your delicious Citrus Grilled Turkey Cutlets immediately. They're fantastic on their own, or served with your favorite sides.
