Ingredients
- turkey breast 180 g (raw)
- passata (tomato puree) 220 g
- garlic 5 g
- olive oil 8 g
- parmesan 12 g
- green salad 100 g
- cucumber 150 g
- salt, pepper
Instructions
- Cut the turkey breast into cubes or strips. Season it with salt and pepper.
- In a deep pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the finely chopped garlic until aromatic.
- Add the turkey to the pan and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
- Pour the tomato passata over the turkey and let the sauce simmer on low heat for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the meat to absorb them.
- Prepare the salad by mixing the green salad and sliced cucumber.
- Serve the hot turkey with tomato sauce, sprinkled with grated parmesan, alongside the fresh salad.
This combination is an exceptional source of antioxidants with increased bioavailability. Cooking tomatoes in the form of passata, in the presence of olive oil, optimizes the release and absorption of lycopene. Numerous biochemistry studies demonstrate that this carotenoid is more efficiently absorbed when thermally processed and accompanied by fats, contributing significantly to cellular protection against oxidative stress.
Turkey breast provides high-quality protein, essential for tissue repair and growth, while parmesan brings a valuable supply of calcium and phosphorus, key minerals for bone health. The presence of fiber from salad and protein from turkey modulates the glycemic response, contributing to slow and steady energy release. Garlic not only adds a complex aromatic profile, but is recognized for its sulfur compounds, which research suggests have immunomodulatory properties. This meal is therefore a powerful ally for cardiovascular health and cellular integrity.
