Spice Rubbed Turkey Breast with Roasted Carrots
Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots peeled and cut into 2 inch lengths
- 6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled* (see below)
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 lb. turkey breast skinless
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp. ground cumin
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1/2 plain low fat yogurt
- 2 T fresh lemon juice
Preheat oven to 475 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss carrots, garlic and 1 T. oil. Push them to the sides. Place turkey in centre of pan and rub with 1 T oil and sprinkle with cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
Roast until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes, tossing carrots halfway through cooking. Let turkey rest 10 minutes before slicing.
In a small bowl mix yogurt, lime juice and 1/4 tsp. cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Serve turkey with carrots and sauce.
How to Peel Garlic? Cut the bottom off of your garlic cloves and place them on a paper towel in the microwave. Stop after 20 to 30 seconds and remove the garlic. Squeeze the top of the garlic buds and the skin will slip off. Chop as needed.
