Ingredients

  • 800g large new potatoes, unpeeled and quartered
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 250g cherry tomatoes
  • 150g fresh Parmesan, grated
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 4 turkey breast steaks, cut into strips
  • small handful of fresh basil leaves, large leaves torn
  • 1 lemon, quartered, to serve

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220˚C/fan 200˚C/gas 7. Put the potatoes into a roasting tin, drizzle with the oil, season and mix. Roast for 35 minutes in the oven, turning halfway. Mix in the tomatoes and roast for a further 10 minutes, until they’ve begun to wilt.

  2. Meanwhile, spread the Parmesan onto a large plate and season with black pepper. Put the egg whites in a bowl and whisk until frothy. Coat the turkey strips in the egg whites, then press each one into the Parmesan to roughly cover. Put in 1 layer on a large non-stick baking tray. When the potatoes have 20 minutes’ cooking time left, pop the turkey into the oven. Cook, turning halfway with a fish slice, until cooked and golden. Set aside on kitchen paper.

  3. Divide the turkey between 4 plates. Stir the torn basil leaves into the potatoes and divide between the plates. Garnish with a lemon quarter.
