INGREDIENTS
5 oz Turkey Breast
1/2 cup chopped Fresh Basil Leaves
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Cilantro Leaves
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1/2 cup cooked Cilantro Jasmine Rice
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly season the turkey breast with salt and pepper if desired.
In a food processor or blender, combine the fresh basil, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until a rough, vibrant pesto forms.
Spread half of the herb-pesto over the turkey breast, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the turkey in the heated skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and lightly browned on the outside.
While the turkey cooks, gently reheat the cooked jasmine rice if needed, then toss with a little extra chopped cilantro to enhance the flavor.
Plate the turkey alongside the cilantro jasmine rice and garnish with halved cherry tomatoes. Optionally drizzle any remaining pesto on top.
Serve warm and enjoy the balanced blend of lean protein, aromatic herbs, and light, fluffy rice.
