Ingredients

  • 4 turkey breast medallions
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Мethod of preparation

1. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. 2. Pat the turkey medallions dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture generously over both sides of each medallion, ensuring an even coat. 3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the turkey medallions to the skillet. 4. Cook the medallions for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. The spices should form a crispy, flavorful crust. 5. While the turkey is cooking, zest and juice the lemon. Once the medallions are nearly done, add the lemon juice and zest to the pan, baste the turkey, and continue to cook for an additional minute. 6. Remove the turkey medallions from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. 7. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy the bold, vibrant flavors of your Cajun Spiced Turkey Medallions.
