RECIPE OF THE DAY " ORANGE CRUMBED BAKED TRUKEY BREAST"

Be sure to use whole-wheat crackers for the coating-they add to the nutrition in this flavorful dish. If you prefer, substitute lemon juice and zest for the orange.

Makes 4 servings

2 tablespoon orange juice

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup whole-wheat cracker crumbs

1 tablespoon grated orange zest

1 shallot, finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

4 (3-ounce) Turkey breasts

1. Preheat the oven to 350F; spray a nonstick baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, mustard, and salt. On a sheet of wax paper, combine the cracker crumbs, orange zest, shallot, and pepper. Brush the Turkey on both sides with the mustard mixture, then dredge in the crumbs, firmly pressing the crumbs to coat both sides. Place the Turkey on the baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes; turn over and bake until cooked through, 15-20 minutes longer.
