Braised Turkey Breast
The braised turkey breast is full of protein, and the colorful mixture of vegetables guarantees a rich supply of micronutrients, like niacin, zinc, vitamin C, and biotin.
If you prefer something a bit more opulent, serve it with fine ribbon noodles or stew small, young potatoes.
