Turkey Fajtas
Turkey Fajitas are a quick and flavorful meal to make on your Blackstone griddle. The tender turkey breast soaks up all of the delicious flavors from a simple fajita marinade and cooks up fast for an easy weeknight dinner or weekend cookout.
We picked up what we thought was a frozen turkey breast that turned out to be a turkey roast, which is essentially boneless turkey breast pieces in a net bag.
We decided to slice it up thin and make fajitas. Our kids and grandkids were over for dinner and it was a huge hit with the whole family and the leftovers were amazing the next day for lunch.
