Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Boil a kettle. Peel the squash and cut into wedges. Place on a lined baking tray and drizzle with 1 tbsp oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Make the Turkey Kyivs; in a bowl, mix 1 tbsp ground almonds with the pesto. In another small bowl, combine the remaining almonds with the nutritional yeast. Make an incision into the thickest part of the turkey to create a pocket. Stuff the pockets with the pesto mix. Coat the turkey with the almond crumb then place on a lined baking tray.
- Bake the squash and turkey for 25 mins, until the squash is golden and the turkey is cooked through. Check your turkey is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear.
- Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. Finely dice the onion. Finely chop or grate the garlic. Thinly slice the peppers. Heat a saucepan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, peppers and garlic and cook for 5 mins, until softened. Add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10 mins. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Trim the broccoli and place in a saucepan filled with salted boiling water on high heat. Boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked, then drain. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Serve the tomato sauce topped with the Turkey Kyivs with broccoli and roasted squash on the side.
