Eat your way to health!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted some recipes so today I thought I’d post a few for you. Hope you enjoy them!

Here’s one you might consider as an alternative to the stuffed version this time of year, as Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

ROAST TURKEY

Ingredients:

12 lb Turkey, giblets removed, washed inside and out

2 sprigs of thyme

2 sprigs of oregano

2 sprigs of sage

3 sprigs of fresh parsley

3 T olive oil

2 T dry white wine

2 T paprika

3 ea small oranges, peeled and cut into wedges

2 ea onions, cut into wedges

1 C low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth

fresh pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. With your fingers, lift up skin of turkey breast and slip thyme, oregano, sage and parsley underneath skin. Combine oil, wine, paprika and pepper. Rub this mixture over the surface of the turkey. Place the oranges and onions inside the turkey.

Place turkey, breast side down in roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth into bottom of pan. Cover loosely with foil. Roast for 20-25 minutes per pound, basting periodically. Halfway through, place turkey breast side up. During

the last 45 minutes of roasting, remove cover. Continue to roast until the leg moves easily and juices run clear. Let stand for 20 minutes to help let juices settle for easier carving.
