Healthy, because
This tender turkey contains a lot of protein, which is important for muscle growth, among other things. Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamin C, while the parsley contains considerable amounts of iron, which is important for blood formation.
Even smarter
Cook the broccoli briefly to retain as many vitamins as possible. The longer the broccoli cooks, the less nutritious it is.
