Grilled Turkey Breast with Roasted Vegetables and Cauliflower Mash
Tips for Experienced Cooks
To elevate the dish, consider marinating the turkey breast fillets in a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and fresh herbs for at least 1 hour before grilling. This adds depth of flavor and tenderizes the meat. For the vegetables, experiment with adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice before roasting to enhance their natural sweetness. To make the cauliflower mash smoother and more rich, add a knob of butter and a splash of cream while blending. Feel free to play around with the seasoning, perhaps adding a pinch of nutmeg or smoked paprika for an interesting twist.
