Ingredients

  • Turkey breast (grilled) 6 oz
  • Brussels sprouts 1 cup
  • Wild rice (cooked) 3/4 cup
  • Olive oil 1 tbsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Prepare Brussels Sprouts. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water, trim the stem ends, and cut them in half lengthwise. Place them in a bowl.
    Tip: Cutting Brussels sprouts in half helps them roast evenly and develop a nice caramelized flavor.
  2. Season and Roast Brussels Sprouts. Add half a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to the Brussels sprouts. Toss well to coat evenly. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.
    Tip: Stirring halfway ensures even roasting and prevents burning.
  3. Prepare the Turkey Breast. While the Brussels sprouts roast, pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Brush the turkey with the remaining half tablespoon of olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
    Tip: Drying the turkey helps achieve a better sear and grill marks.
  4. Grill the Turkey Breast. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the turkey breast on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
    Tip: Avoid pressing down on the turkey while grilling to keep it juicy.
  5. Warm the Wild Rice. If your wild rice is pre-cooked and cooled, warm it gently in a microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out.
    Tip: Fluff the rice with a fork after warming for a light texture.
  6. Plate and Serve. Slice the grilled turkey breast against the grain into thin slices. Arrange the roasted Brussels sprouts and warm wild rice on the plate alongside the turkey. Enjoy your balanced and nutritious meal!
    Tip: Slicing against the grain makes the turkey more tender and easier to eat.

Pro tips

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is safely cooked without drying out.
  • Roasting Brussels sprouts at a high temperature caramelizes their natural sugars, enhancing flavor.
