Author Notes
Let me tell you about a terrific turkey breast you can get at your deli counter. Boar’s Head offers a no-salt roasted turkey breast (you need to specify “no salt” as the processed meat is only a reduced salt). It is not processed, it is not salty, and it is great, both as a regular sandwich meat or if you ask for ½ to ¾ inch slabs, then you can cube it or (as below) pretend you roasted a turkey.
Except for marinating and heating the turkey, I use my Simply Ming copper-lined wok pan and this was a one-pan preparation.

Ingredients
-
6
½- ¾ inch slices of Boar’s Head no salt turkey breast (about 0.5 pounds per slice)
-
2
lemons, juiced
-
2 tablespoons
EVOO
-
4
small sweet onion, thin slices, halved
-
6
large carrots, sliced into thin rounds
-
1
medium zucchini, cut into ¼ inch rounds
-
1
medium summer/yellow squash, cut into ¼ inch rounds
-
2 cups
broccoli florets
Directions
-
to serve two, I only use two slices of the turkey, and made extra vegetables so that I could refrigerate the unused for later
-
marinate 2 slices of the turkey in water, lemon juice, EVOO and a generous amount of spices/herbs (oregano, basil, black pepper, thyme), in the refrigerator, for about 2 hours, turning once after an hour
-
lightly caramelize the onions, about a quarter was through add the carrots, about three quarters of the way through add the broccoli and then, nearer to the end, the squashes, plus some freshly ground black pepper ; set aside warm (having starting heating the turkey about 30 minutes before you think this will be done)
-
heat the turkey slices, in the marinade, at 300F for 30 minutes (until thoroughly heated but not dried out)
-
serve sliced turkey over vegetables
-
I made a low carb and not quite a Shepherd’s pie that I used as a rich side dish. The recipe is listed elsewhere at this site.
