10ml extra virgin olive oil

Ground black pepper

Preparation Time

Total Time: 20 minutes

Step-by-Step Instruction

Start by preheating your grill to medium heat.
Season the turkey breast generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the turkey breast on the grill and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned and cooked through.
While the turkey is grilling, heat a pan over medium heat and pour in 70ml of milk.
Add the grated Džiugas Delicate cheese to the milk in the pan.
Carefully stir the mixture, allowing the cheese to melt and the sauce to slowly thicken.
Add fresh spinach leaves into the pan with the sauce, stirring gently until wilted.
Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg and additional black pepper into the sauce.
Continue to cook and stir the sauce until it has a thick, creamy consistency.
Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
Once the turkey is grilled to perfection, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a minute.
Pour the spinach and cheese sauce onto a serving plate, creating a bed for the turkey breast.
Carefully place the grilled turkey breast on top of the prepared sauce.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the turkey and sauce to finish.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Pair with a crisp green salad or your choice of side for a balanced meal.
Tip: You can warm the plates before serving to keep the food hot for longer.
For additional flavor, a squeeze of lemon juice over the turkey can add a nice touch.
Garnish with fresh herbs or an extra sprinkle of cheese for a beautiful presentation.
Enjoy your gourmet grilled turkey with spinach and cheese sauce!

Use a cast-iron grill pan indoors if an outdoor grill isn't accessible.
For added flavor, marinate the turkey breast in herbs and lemon juice before grilling.
Add garlic to the cheese sauce for a more robust flavor.
