Grilled Turkey with Avocado

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat turkey fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and cumin, allowing flavors to penetrate for 5 minutes.

   Tip: Pound turkey to uniform thickness for even cooking.

2. 2

   Brush grill grates with oil and preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) for 10 minutes.

   Tip: Oil prevents sticking and creates beautiful grill marks.

3. 3

   Place turkey fillets on hot grill and cook for 12-13 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.

   Tip: Avoid moving turkey too frequently to achieve nice char marks.

4. 4

   While turkey cooks, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño, and a pinch of salt to create the sauce.

   Tip: Make sauce just before serving to preserve cilantro brightness.

5. 5

   Transfer cooked turkey to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

   Tip: Resting keeps the meat juicy and tender.

6. 6

   Scoop avocado flesh into a bowl and gently fold in diced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon olive oil with a pinch of salt.

   Tip: Handle avocado carefully to maintain its creamy texture.

7. 7

   Arrange sliced turkey on serving plates and top with generous spoonfuls of avocado mixture and cilantro-lime sauce.

   Tip: Serve immediately while turkey is still warm for the best flavor contrast.
