Ingredients
  

  • 2 large turkey breast fillets about 500g
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp unrefined sugar
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Chop the onion and garlic into tiny pieces.
  2. Put the turkey breasts on a chopping board, cover with clingfilm or greaseproof paper then beat out into one cm thickness.
  3. In a large dish, mix all ingredients with the onion and garlic, then coat the meat well with this mixture. Leave the meat in this marinade for 1-2 hours.
  4. Heat your grill, barbecue or griddle pan. Shake off the onion bits, season the turkey breasts with salt and cook them for 3-5 minutes on each side. If you use a griddle pan, add the marinade to the pan for the last 5 minutes to make a sauce. If you use a grill or barbecue, then fry this mixture separately in a pan.
  5. Serve warm with the spiced onion salsa over it.
