Do you want a really quick lunch or dinner? Well here you have it. You can prepare this turkey breast in minutes. I suggest a Big Batch so you have it around for a few meals and mini meals. It feels so great to be able to reach into your fridge at any time and pull out a tasty healthy meal. This turkey would be great shredded or cubed on top of your Mixed Green Salad with Goat Cheese Pecan Balls. It could go on any salad. The first time I cooked it we had it with my Nutty Coconut Rice and Golden Raisins. Both the turkey and the rice have curry powder, so they compliment each other nicely. The coconut, curry combo is a match made in heaven. The yogurt sauce adds a little something special.

This turkey would be great for outdoor entertaining, potlucks and all-purpose family meals. It is also wonderful to pack in lunchboxes.
Serve with your favorite veggies or maybe with a bowl of Zucchini Carrot Soup? No matter what you do you have a simple and easy meal in minutes. This would be great dipped in ketchup or with a few drops of hot sauce. You can also make a sandwich with a thin layer of mayo or some of your yogurt sauce.

Turkey is one thing I never make. We love it, but I always forget that I can get it without roasting a whole turkey breast. This looks delicious!
That looks DELICIOUS. I can always use another easy, healthy meal in my back pocket and this one looks especially flexible when it comes to spices. On a totally separate note, your backdrop (a tablecloth?) is gorgeous. I’m obsessing a bit.
I got that neat cloth at Anthropologie. They have the coolest props!
What a beautiful dinner this is! I love the curry flavors and the ease of the meal.
A healthy and very flavorful way of preparing turkey breast!
Cheers,
Rosa
ummm that yogurt sauce is so easy and it sounds UBER DELICIOUS!!!! I would want to dip everything in it! xo
What a great turkey recipe! Oh yes, we love to dip too…and that sauce looks perfect! 🙂
Hey lady, how’s it going! So LMK if you wanna plan something in the future for a meetup. Does not have to be right away or even the next month…we are all so busy in the summer but we should coordinate something! I would even do a weekday midday at like South Coast Plaza. Or someplace very north county San diego, there’s some outlet malls there that are a decent meetup spot. Just ponder and at your lesiure, holla!
I love the yogurt/curry combo. Fast and easy is a real bonus. Thanks for sharing!
those breasts have some great color, and look at all that herbage! great recipe, marla. 🙂
Hubby is not too crazy for Turkey anything, hence my avoidance of purchasing it. However, I can certainly see how your wonderful versatile ingredients can please any protein based dish. Love the flavours ;o)
Thanks for sharing and have yourself a great week,
Claudia
I love the yogurt dipping sauce!
This looks lovely and very delicious. 🙂
What a treasure house of flavors you’ve got here!
I never cook turkey except for thanks giving. This obviously must change 🙂
So glad to have found your blog 🙂
Ciao, Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
This could be my “go to” yogurt sauce. Thanks. GREG
Congrats, Marla. You just made turkey cool! Gosh that looks SO good with the cool, refreshing yogurt sauce. Did you make a big batch of these? Care to share? 😉
Sophia, of course I made a Big Batch of turkey. Gotta have stuff around for when I don’t have time to cook (which happens a lot!) xo
A flavorful chicken, love the dipping sauce!!
I love the spiciness of curry, especially when paired with something cooling like Greek yogurt. Sounds like one tasty dish!
Yum! I like to cook up big batches of chicken breast to keep around for sandwiches and salads, and this sounds like the perfect way to spice it up 🙂
Marla – there is nothing like the organic meat compared to the mega store meat, is there? This looks yummy – and reads as super simple. Beautiful pics!
🙂

I am really glad I just stumbled upon your website! I cook all my own meals now and refuse to cook unhealthy things. I’m really excited to try some of your recipes.
I had never tried turkey before even though I always saw them during Christmas. You had made me drooling with your different ways of cooking and serving turkeys. Got to give it a try one day! 😉
Love the blend of herbs…it looks wonderful! Meat eaters should eat more turkey – so lean and an under-recognized meat!
Nicole, how right you are. People think they need to only eat turkey in November for Thanksgiving. Turkey is all year around here!
