Nutritional values

Broccoli and green asparagus alone provide about two thirds of your daily requirement of vitamin C. This dish also contains vitamin B6, which plays an important role in fat metabolism, hormone balance and the immune system. 

If you'd like more vitamins and fiber, double the amount of asparagus and broccoli and use approximately 3 ounces less turkey breast fillet.
