1
Season the Turkey
Rub the turkey breast with olive oil. Generously coat the turkey with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
2
Preheat the Grill or Skillet
Heat a grill or a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure it is hot enough that the turkey will sear properly.
3
Cook the Turkey
Place the seasoned turkey breast on the grill or skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

4
Prepare the Cheese Mixture
In a bowl, combine the cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Mix well until fully blended.
5
Top the Turkey
After the turkey has rested, slice it and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the cheese mixture over the sliced turkey.
6
Melt the Cheese
If desired, place the topped turkey under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
