Recipe: Grilled turkey paillards with jalapeños and garlic

Total time: About 10 minutes, plus 1 hour marinating

Servings: 4

1 pound turkey breast cutlets

1 clove garlic, minced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano, crumbled

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Salt, pepper

Chopped cilantro, for garnish

1 lime, quartered, optional

1. Place the turkey slices between 2 sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound until uniformly thin, about one-fourth inch. Place in a large shallow dish. In a bowl, whisk together the garlic, jalapeño, oregano, cumin and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over the turkey and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.

2. Heat a grill until very hot. Carefully place the marinated turkey paillards on the grill and cook just until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side; do not overcook. Transfer to serving plates and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for juicing, if desired.
