Narrative:
After landing on runway 4 I rolled down to taxiway east and exited. The copilot made a radio call on the traffic advisory frequency that we were clear of runway 4. On taxiway east I asked for the after landing checklist. The copilot commenced reading and I responded to the items on my side of the cockpit. During this time I began a right turn southwest along taxiway D toward the terminal. At the time my eyes were looking at the anti-ice/de-ice switch panel I looked up and saw the aircraft was not aligned on the taxiway D centerline but the right main gear was in the grass median. I maneuvered back onto the centerline of taxiway D and taxied to the ramp, shut down the aircraft with the stopping engines checklist and instructed the copilot to inspect the right main landing gear and right propeller. The copilot reported that I should have a look and I found 1 of 4 right propeller tips bent back approximately 1 inch. I then called dispatch and maintenance.
