  In any case avoid broth cube if you like healthy eating and have kids.
• - If you have little time you can use sliced turkey breast and cut them into strips. In this way the cooking will be quicker and you should need less orange juice. So you can use smaller oranges.

Menu planning

• - Turkey breast, cut into pieces and cooked in orange juice is an excellent winter dinner that requires limited time of preparation, is tasty and not high-calorie. Ideal if you have children. But also the adults will like it. Pair it with cooked vegetables in season and a portion of bread.

Healthy eating

• - I want to remember you the right meat portion per head is 100g (3 1/2 ounces). My meat doses are a little abundant.
  If you want to follow strictly the indications of a healthy diet, you should use 600g of turkey breast for 6 servings.
  2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil should be enough. In this case the nutrient facts change:
  calories: 176 (735 kJ)
  protein: 24.5g
  total fat: 6.3g
  total carbohydrate: 5.6g

  As you can see slight variations of the doses on each meat recipe produce substantial differences in calories, proteins and fats ;)))
