Ingredients

  • 12.3 oz (350 g) turkey breast cutlets, four thin pieces
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) dry plain couscous
  • 6.3 oz (180 g) red bell pepper, wide strips
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 3.1 tsp (14 g) olive oil
  • 1.1 oz (30 g) lemon juice
  • 0.4 oz (10 g) parsley, chopped
  • 0.2 oz (6 g) garlic, finely minced
  • 1.0 tsp (2 g) paprika
  • 0.3 tsp (2 g) salt
  • 0.5 tsp (1 g) black pepper
  • 5.1 US fl oz (150 ml) boiling water

Method

  1. Heat a clean, lightly oiled grill to medium-high, about 400°F (205°C). Pat the turkey dry; cutlets should be about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thick. Coat turkey with half the olive oil, paprika, half the salt and black pepper. Use the remaining oil to coat the pepper strips.
  2. Put couscous in a heatproof bowl. Pour over the boiling water, cover and leave for 5 minutes or follow the package ratio if different. Fluff with a fork and stir in parsley and half the lemon juice. This soaking happens while the grill food cooks.
  3. Grill peppers for 4–6 minutes per side until tender. Grill turkey for about 3–5 minutes per side until the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C). Timing varies with thickness; check each cutlet with a thermometer. Transfer cooked food to a clean plate.
  4. Mix yogurt, garlic, remaining lemon juice and remaining salt in a clean bowl. Divide the turkey, peppers, couscous and yogurt sauce between two plates.

Cook’s note: Use turkey breast cutlets, not thick whole breast pieces. Plain couscous is a quick-cooking wheat product; pearl couscous needs a different method. The couscous, peppers and sauce are included in the nutrition estimate.

Allergens: Wheat in couscous and milk in yogurt.
