Vitamins B are vital in in the production of red blood cells, DNA, neurotransmitters and energy. Turkey meat is also very high in proteins, hence it’s perfect for an after workout meal. We present a recipe for tasty pan-seared turkey breast with lemon and herbs. It’s very simple and not at all time consuming in preparation.

Instructions:

1. Cut the turkey breast in 4 thin slices and season them with sea salt and a few grinds of pepper.
