Roast Turkey Breast with Glazed Vegetables

Healthy Fact of the Day

Roast Turkey Breast with Glazed Vegetables is a wholesome and festive dish that offers lean protein and a variety of colorful, nutrient-rich vegetables.

Ingredients

 

 

For the Turkey:

  • 1 turkey breast (about 3-4 pounds), bone-in and skin-on
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

 

For the Glazed Vegetables:

  • 2 cups baby carrots
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 cup sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

 

For the Gravy (Optional):

  • Pan drippings from the roasted turkey
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken or turkey broth
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  •  

 

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried sage, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend for the turkey.

  3. Place the turkey breast on a roasting pan. Rub the seasoning blend all over the turkey breast, ensuring it’s well coated.

  4. Roast the turkey breast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the turkey with pan drippings every 30 minutes.

  5. While the turkey is roasting, prepare the glazed vegetables. In a large bowl, toss together the baby carrots, halved Brussels sprouts, diced sweet potatoes, olive oil, honey, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

  6. Spread the glazed vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.

  7. Once the turkey is done, let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving.

  8. If making gravy, use the pan drippings. In a saucepan, whisk together the flour and pan drippings over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the chicken or turkey broth until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  9. Serve the carved turkey breast with the glazed vegetables and drizzle with gravy if desired.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto is a rich and indulgent dish, but there are ways to make it even healthier while maintaining its creamy texture and luxurious flavor. Using low-sodium chicken stock can help reduce sodium intake, while swapping brown rice or cauliflower rice for Arborio rice can increase fiber and lower the carb content. Lobster is naturally high in protein and low in fat, making it a great lean seafood choice, but using less butter and replacing some with heart-healthy olive oil can further lighten the dish. Opting for reduced-fat Parmesan or nutritional yeast can provide cheesy flavor with less saturated fat. The addition of lemon juice and zest not only enhances brightness but also delivers vitamin C and antioxidants. Serve with a side of leafy greens for an extra nutrient boost, and enjoy this creamy risotto as part of a well-balanced meal!

Bang Bang Cauliflower is a flavorful way to enjoy vegetables, but you can make it even healthier by baking instead of frying to reduce oil and calories. Use whole wheat panko breadcrumbs for added fiber, and swap regular mayonnaise for Greek yogurt or a light mayo to lower fat content while keeping the creamy texture. Cauliflower itself is nutrient-rich, providing vitamins C and K, antioxidants, and fiber to support digestion and overall health. The Sriracha and honey in the sauce add bold flavor with minimal calories, making this dish a satisfying and nutritious snack or appetizer option. Enjoy it as part of a balanced meal!

The chicken breasts provide lean protein to support muscle health, while broccoli adds fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants.
