Turkey is the typical hospital/diet sad meal, I think. However, it can be really tasty, just using some creativity and a couple of tasty ingredients. Indeed, this is the way my husband always wants is turkey now.

You know, I don’t eat meat, but I do satisfy my husband’s meat cravings now and then. I have to say it’s pretty easy, as he eats almost everything, even when some of my experiments don’t come out that well. These breasts paired with my Beetroot Rosti are just the perfect combo.

This wasn’t the case of this turkey breasts – I used chicken as well and it works deliciously – which he just loves. They’re so easy to prepare and the outcome is really tasty, completely different from the usual grilled breasts. They’re moist on the inside and crispy on top. Plus, they’re really tasty when warmed up the day after, they don’t dry out at all. What are you waiting for? Turn on the oven and bake some dinner!

“I don’t know — maybe the world has two different kinds of people, and for one kind the world is this completely logical, rice pudding place, and for the other it’s all hit-or-miss gratin.”
