Herbed Potato Horseradish Crusted Turkey Breast Over Zucchini Noodles is a mouthful to say but even better to taste. Roasted turkey breasts are covered with a herbed potato mash spiked with horseradish. For the herb combination, I used fresh rosemary, thyme, and parsley. However, use whatever fresh herbs you still have left in your garden or have on hand.
Pair the turkey with zucchini noodles To balance the carbs in the potato crust. The yellow variety adds beautiful color. Using both yellow and green zucchini for the noodles would be even lovelier.No problem if you do not have a spiralizer, mandoline slicer, or similar machine to make the zucchini noodles. Alternatively, use an ordinary vegetable peeler. However, the spiralizer cuts a good 10-15 minutes off the prep time.
This dish is a wonderful, colorful combination of flavor and color. It is a great fall menu option. The zoodles lighten up the dish and the potato crust adds just enough to satisfy a carb craving.
Boneless chicken breasts would work just as well in this recipe.
