Turkey Breast and Roasted Asparagus

The other day Kenny and I were going through Publix looking at the meats. I saw something that looked like chicken breast but was really a turkey breast. We decided to try it out... turns out its a little chewy. I would reccomend this recipe with good old chicken breast. But hey... at least we can say we tried!

Ingredients:
For the meat-
2 turkey breasts (or chicken breasts)
Olive oil
Vidalia onion vinegarette
Garlic powder
Salt
Pepper


For the veggies-
Asparagus
2-3 cloves of garlic (minced)
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Foil-lined cookie sheet

1. Marinate the turkey breasts with the olive oil, dressing, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Put enough in the bowl to cover the turkey. Cover and put in the fridge.


2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the foil lined cookie sheet in the oven while it heats up. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a non-stick skillet. Heat over medium heat. Add the turkey breasts at cook for about 10-15 minutes, flipping occasionally.



3. Add the asparagus, olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic to the hot, foil-lined pan. Cover the pan with the turkey and put in the oven as well. REMEMBER: The pan handle will be hot when you take it out of the oven! I burned my hand once forgetting that.

4. Cook the asparagus and turkey breast for about 10 minutes.
