Roast Turkey Griddled Asparagus

Instead of using turkey breast, or cooking a whole bird for a mid week meal, try the cheaper cuts like a joint. The meat is darker because it is closer to the bone, but it is also more flavoursome than the somewhat boring white meat.



You get a lot of meat from this particular cut of meat, so do as I do and store the leftovers in the fridge, to be used as sandwich fillers, or part of another meal throughout the week.

Preparation Time:5 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients
1 turkey joint
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
18 asparagus spears
25ml balsamic vinegar
50g feta cheese
3 garlic cloves

Method



























Either serve the meal in two seperate bowls which people can dig into, or follow the steps below for individual servings.




Although there are no potatoes, this is a filling, healthy, and delicious dish, which all of the family can enjoy.

The leftover turkey can be stored in the fridge for up to one week, in an airtight container.
