Prep Turkey: Remove the turkey from the packaging and dry off with paper towel. Gather all items needed to prep turkey (roasting pan, spices, meat thermometer etc)Ĭoat roasting pan with oil/cooking spray. Remove turkey from refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature for atleast 30 minutes. Here is the simple recipe I used to create my turkey-I purposefully kept the recipe simple so I could add a ton of different flavours to the other meals I was planning to create with all of the leftover meat!

Sounds pretty much like any other meal I create! That’s because I had never made one before! Turns out, it’s really not that complicated! You just need to be super organized and gather all the items you need before you get started. Not going to lie guys, I was super intimidated when I found out I had to cook a turkey. Yum! With a little meal prep on the weekend, I was able to use the meat from this one turkey to create numerous meals for the remainder of the week! Score! I will share those recipes with you in blog posts to follow…stay tuned!

I went to my local grocery store and picked up an Ontario raised turkey and got cooking! This was the end result: It means that I do all my food prep on the weekend to make my life easier during the week! And this is where turkey comes in. You all know that I LOVE to meal prep! Now this doesn’t mean that I cook seven meals in one day. Now that it’s clear that turkey is a nutritional powerhouse, lets talk about introducing it into our daily lives! I know traditionally turkey was reserved for holidays and/or big gatherings but not anymore! I can think of so many recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner that include TURKEY!!! I’ve decided that we’re making it a protein essential in our house due to it’s versatile nature. See infographic for all things that #makesitsuper Turkey is a recognized super food!! It’s low in fat, packed with nutrients and a healthy alternative to other proteins. Disclosure: I have partnered with YMC and Turkey Farmers of Ontario and have received compensation for this post.
