Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Turkey

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the turkey breast fillets and coat them well in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Turkey

    Remove the turkey from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the turkey is cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sides

    While the turkey is grilling, prepare your choice of Attieke or Jollof rice according to package instructions.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the turkey is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve it alongside your choice of Attieke or Jollof rice.
