About this recipe
Turkey Breast, Vegetable Salad and Chimichurri Mayo Thermomix TM7 is the kind of recipe that turns a simple dinner into something restaurant-worthy without extra effort. Searching for healthy turkey recipes or a quick weeknight dinner in your all-in-one kitchen machine? This one delivers: skinless turkey breasts rubbed with oregano, sweet paprika, thyme and a pinch of cayenne, served alongside a fresh vegetable salad and a lively chimichurri mayo. The TM7 takes care of the fiddly parts — the parsley and garlic for the chimichurri are chopped in seconds, and the mayonnaise is emulsified to a velvety consistency in the same bowl. Thanks to precise, gentle heating inspired by the confit technique from the manual, the turkey stays wonderfully juicy instead of drying out. High in protein and naturally gluten-free, it works equally well as a light summer lunch or a nutritious family dinner.
Preparation tips
- Pat the turkey breasts dry before rubbing them with the paprika-oregano spice mix; this helps the seasoning adhere and gives a more flavourful, evenly coated crust when seared.
- Make the chimichurri mayo ahead and let it rest in the fridge so the parsley, garlic and lemon flavours meld; it will taste noticeably rounder after resting and keeps well for a couple of days.
- For a milder family version, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper and add an extra pinch of sweet paprika — children will still enjoy the aromatic crust without the heat.
Recipe variations
- Low-FODMAP variation: replace the garlic cloves in the chimichurri mayo with a garlic-infused oil and swap the cayenne for mild paprika, keeping the fresh parsley and lemon for a tummy-friendly sauce.
- Festive winter variation: serve the sliced spiced turkey breast over roasted winter vegetables such as carrot and parsnip instead of the raw salad, with pomegranate seeds scattered over the chimichurri mayo for colour.
