Note
For best results, ensure the turkey steaks are dry before searing to promote browning.
If fresh ginger is unavailable, you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, though fresh provides a brighter flavor.
Leftover salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The turkey should be consumed within 2 days.
To reduce calories, you may use a non-stick spray instead of butter, though the butter adds significant flavor.
