Turkey in honey-mustard sauce
Description
Turkey is a tender meat that quickly absorbs all flavors and aromas. You can use any fillet, but breast or a small fillet works best. Marinating and baking in this sauce makes it rich and deeply flavorful. The honey and mustard sauce is enhanced with spices, while lemon juice adds a fresh, light note. You can substitute the spices to your taste—thyme and basil work very well. Serve the turkey with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for lunch or dinner.
