Ingredients
-
1 breast, bone and skin removed Turkey, fryer-roasters, breast, meat only, raw
1 lime yields Lime Juice
3 clove Garlic
2 tsp Ginger Root
1 tbsp Garam Masala
2 tsp Lime Zest
2 tbsp cumin powder
4 gram(s) Tumeric, Raw Fresh
1 cup Fresh Made Organic Kefir - Plain
Tips
Prep time doesn't include letting the turkey marinate for 24 hours!
Directions
Marinate:
Whisk together the Kefir through the pepper in a bowl, large enough to put the turkey breast and liquid in. Put the turkey breast into the kefir marinade and cover with plastic wrap. Marinate for 24 hours, flipping the breast after ~ 12 hours.
To Cook:
Preheat oven to 400-425 F. Heat a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Once the cast iron is sizzling remove the turkey from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off. Discard excess marinade. Place turkey breast on cast iron (it should be sizzling). Sear each side (~ 4-5 minutes) and then place the whole cast iron pan in the oven for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven when the fattest part of the turkey breast's internal temperature is between 160-165. Let stand to ensure the meat reaches 165.
Slice and enjoy with naan, korma or curried cauliflower. Leftover turkey (if there is any) makes a great addition to spruce up a green salad.
