Gremolata, a combination of parsley, lemon zest, and garlic, is typically sprinkled over osso buco. Here it adds a fresh flavor and really brightens up the simple turkey breast. Roasted red peppers add great color and another texture, and another taste element, but water packed sun dried tomatoes would also work well in this dish if red peppers are not your favorite. In place of dried rosemary feel free to substitute fresh if it's growing in your garden or you happen to have some on hand in the fridge. This dish makes a great dinner served with rosemary roasted potatoes or couscous and sauteed greens.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F; spray the broiler rack with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the parsley, garlic, rosemary and lemon zest.
