Oven Roasted Turkey Breasts
Turkey is such an underrated source of lean protein, isn't it?
I’ll be honest, I feel like I’ve contributed to turkey’s underrated-ness. I’m constantly buying chicken and chicken breast when it comes to meal prepping and grocery shopping. But, after making this Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, I’m totally ready to change that. Turkey breast is such an incredibly flavorful and affordable source of protein that’s NOT just for Thanksgiving, my friends! So, this is me - vowing to get out of my comfort zone and incorporate more turkey breast into my routine.
And it all starts with this recipe! Details available below!
