  3. 3

    Chop the carrot, zucchini, red pepper and onion into similar sizes.

  4. 4

    Spread the turkey slices and vegetables in a single layer on the tray.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

🌱 Why is it nourishing?

Oven-baked turkey breast is a lean, high-protein option that gains fibre and natural flavour alongside colourful seasonal vegetables. Olive oil and lemon add freshness, while baking instead of frying offers a lighter cooking method. It can be a light yet satisfying meal that is easy to prepare on a breastfeeding mother's busy days.
