Ingredients

Cooking spray
One 1 1/2- to 1 3/4-pound boneless, skinless turkey breast, all visible fat discarded
2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs (a combination of any/all, including rosemary, basil, parsley, tarragon, chives, thyme and sage)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons sugar-free orange marmalade
1 pound potatoes (any type), cut into 2-inch cubes
4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
  2. Lightly spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Place the turkey in the dish.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the herbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Rub half the mixture all over the turkey.
  4. Spread the marmalade over the turkey.
  5. In a large bowl, stir together the potatoes, carrots and oil with the remaining herb mixture. Place the vegetables around the turkey in the dish. Roast for 1 hour.
  6. Remove from the oven. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Quick Tips

Tip: Cut off the feathery greenery on fresh carrots as soon as you can. As long as it remains attached, it continues to remove moisture and vitamins from the carrot.
