1. Roast Turkey Breast and Veggies
First, brush turkey breast with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary and thyme. Roast at 450°F for 1 to 1½ hours.
Then coat 4 large bell peppers, 4 large yellow onions, and 1 pound of baby carrots (all thinly sliced) in olive oil. Roast at 450°F for 30 to 35 minutes; set half aside for tomorrow's meal.
2. Turkey Veggie Pizza
