Instructions
Directions:
Heat your grill. Brush turkey with 1 tsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill. Grill for approximately 12-15 minutes over medium heat, flipping once about halfway, until internal temperature reaches approximately 165 degrees. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
While the turkey is resting, drizzle remaining 2 tsp olive oil on lettuce and plums. Place those cut side down on the grill, and cook for about 3 minutes. Lettuce should be slightly wilted with some char marks, and plums will will turn a golden brown and start to caramelize.
Chop lettuce and serve on a plate topped with turkey, plums, and fresh mozzarella cheese.
