Ingredients

1 lb turkey breast, skinless
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and black pepper
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth

1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 cup fresh mint, minced
1 cucumber, diced
1/2 red onion, finely diced
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

01. Rub the turkey breast with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest before slicing.
02. While the turkey cooks, simmer the quinoa in vegetable broth. Once tender, fluff with a fork and let it cool slightly.
03. In a large bowl, toss the quinoa with fresh parsley, mint, cucumber, and red onion.
04. Whisk lemon juice and olive oil together. Drizzle over the salad and toss well. Serve the sliced turkey over a generous bed of the tabbouleh.

Stewart's Secret

Let your turkey breast rest for at least 10 minutes under foil before slicing. This keeps the juices inside the meat rather than on your cutting board, ensuring every bite stays tender.
