Boston Market says: Tender cuts of turkey breast, homestyle mashed potatoes & gravy, with carrots and green beans.

Nicole says: (I'm sorry. I took a bit of veggies before I took the picture. So really, there were more than you see here by just a bit.)

This meal seems to be missing something. Like STUFFING. If you have turkey and mashed potatoes, it's fairly standard to give us some stuffing, too. But the veggie side of carrots and green beans is colorful, hearty, not too mushy, and sits in a light butter sauce. So I will forgive you. One day soon, but not today.

The turkey tastes and feels like turkey. Real, Thanksgiving Day turkey - except it's simpler to eat due to the "medallion" shape versus slices. No messy attepts at cutting turkey slices with the side of your fork. The gravy does not overpower the actual flavor of the meat, which is fabulous (the meat and the gravy). I begin to think I'm seeing double, as I keep eating but there is still all this meat left! 10-12 medallions ranging from the size of a quarter to the size of an oyster. The potatoes share the compartment with the turkey and gravy, and after natural mixing that occurs while heating, the gravy takes away some starchiness and leaves you with the creamy, lumpy essence of Grandma's house. It is a standard helping of potatoes, nothing special, but it adds to the serious fulfillment you'll get from this meal.

So we've established that Boston Market's Turkey Breast Medallions meal is pretty stellar in the arena of enjoyment. How about health? It's pretty low-cal at 360 calories for a 15 ounce serving. However, this tasty meal packs a punch of 65% RDA sodium. No wonder it tastes so good. Not that it was super-salty, just delicious.

If all the cheese in the world, and all the ingredients necessary to make cheeses, were somehow tainted, rendering all cheese deadly, and I for some silly reason chose life, then I would strongly hope that everything tasted like turkey, potatoes, and gravy. Grandma's or Boston Market's.

Thats a ton of food for a 15 oz serving! Thats only 24 calories per ounce! Thats less calories per ounce than a banana or yogurt… pretty good for the indulgence of that mashed potatoes and gravy. I bet the gravy and the “buttery sauce” are really just salt water with a little cornstarch though…

Edit: I meant to say “Thats a huge serving for 360 calories!”
