🌱 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.
