Add Some Pizzazz To Your Roasted Turkey Medallions
If you want to add some pizzazz to your Roasted Turkey Medallions, pair it up with roasted broccoli. In this video, Mandi shows you how.
Roasted veggies are always a delicious addition to a dish. One veggie that tastes wonderful when roasted is broccoli.
It doesn’t take a lot of effort to roast your broccoli. Here’s how you can come up with some yummy roasted broccoli.
First, make sure to wash your broccoli. Second, cut the stems off. You will notice that they will fall apart naturally. So this part won’t be so hard for you to do.
After that, place the broccoli in a roasting pan and spray in some oil. Then add some black pepper. Finally, put it inside the oven and let it roast for about fifteen to twenty minutes at the temperature of 425.
Once that’s done, you’re going to notice some dark edges on the broccoli. Don’t worry about then because according to Mandi, those burned edges actually taste good.
Mandi recommends that you squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the broccoli to brighten up the flavor. When your roasted broccoli is done, you can pair it up with Nutrisystem’s Roasted Turkey Medallions.

Chicken & BBQ Baked Beans Tastes A Lot Better With Mashed Cauliflower
If you’re a potato lover, here’s another low-carb alternative. You can actually replace your usual mashed potatoes with some cauliflower. You still get the same taste but mashed cauliflower is a lot healthier and has lesser carbs. Take a look at this video and see how it’s done.
Mashed cauliflower is actually very easy to make. First, cut off the leafy greens and the stalk of the cauliflower. Then cut the cauliflower into chunks or pieces just so you can throw it into a pot of boiling water. Boil the cauliflower for about five to eight minutes.
Once the pieces of cauliflower are soft enough from boiling, it’s all set to be mashed. Before doing so, add in a tablespoon of butter and add in some reduced fat milk as well. Then go right ahead and mash your cauliflower away.
You can use a fork or a hand masher to mash the cauliflower. So you don’t really need any special equipment to have some yummy mashed cauliflower.
