Are you guys keeping up with those New Years resolutions? not smoking? exercising? eating healthy? I’m doing quite well so far and our skiing trip helped a lot and gave a big push to get back on track with physical activities. while eating habits are a bit harder to break in. we treated ourselves with Chinese takeaways, Grubbs burgers and way too much of Guinness last weekend, so the week was all about healthy eating, drinking lots of water and experimenting with new super-foods.

Thus, today I’m sharing my quick healthy lunch idea. It will only take you about 20mins for both- prepare and cook, so you can have a little break in between the jobs while waiting for your meal.

what you’ll need:

• sliced turkey breast
• handful of spinach
• 1/2 lemon
• sweet basil + tarragon
• sea salt + black pepper
• some olive oil
• buckwheat (I used half of glass for one portion)
• some curley parsley
• 1/4 leek

how to prepare:

• add buckwheat into boiling water and leave it for about 15 mins on the medium heat.
• take turkey slices and rub in some olive oil and sea salt + black pepper. when place foil on the cooking tray and add your turkey. pre-heat the oven and grill the turkey for about 10mins. when add chopped spinach, tarragon and basil and squeeze lemon juice on top. Leave it until turkey is done. should be another 10 mins in the oven.
• check your buckwheat it should be almost done, add chopped curly parsley and leek into the pot, add salt+pepper, mix everything and leave for another 5 mins on the low heat. and you should be all done!

I love to squeeze some lemon juices on top for this dish as well as serve it with some fresh rockets!

Enjoy!
