Jerk Turkey brings a vibrant twist to your dinner table with its bold spices and bright lime juice. This low-carb meal is perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep, offering just 1 gram of carbs per serving.

Spread the spice mixture on one side of the turkey cutlets and place the turkey on a plate.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
Preheat the grill.
Grill the turkey for 5 minutes on each side, or until it is lightly browned and no longer pink in the center, brushing it with any leftover spice mixture.
