One thing diabetics often complain about is getting bored with their diets. The poultry recipes in this article will offer some new ways to prepare turkey and chicken for the diabetic as well as others. How about an Herb-Crusted Turkey Breast that has 0 carbs leaving room for a tasty side dish? Or Asparagus Chicken on English Muffins for something different? This open-faced chicken sandwich on a whole-wheat English muffin is like no chicken sandwich you've ever had before! Sound good? I thought so. And the best part is that these recipes are just as tasty for those who aren't diabetic. You can serve this to anyone with confidence.
1 (3 - 4 lb) fresh turkey breast
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Completely remove the turkey skin; wash turkey and pat dry.
Mix the lemon pepper and Italian seasonings with the melted butter and brush mixture over the turkey breast. Place breast on a roasting rack in a shallow pan; cover with a loose foil tent.
Bake the turkey at 375 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. Remove the foil tent and continue to bake for another 30 minutes or until the meat thermometer reads 170 degrees and the meat is tender. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
