Pečena Puretina s Pršutom i Kaduljom (s keto povrćem)

Key ingredients
Turkey breast/thigh, pršut (prosciutto), fresh sage, olive oil, butter, garlic, chicken broth, zucchini, bell peppers, spinach/chard, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour is used in the sauce/gravy (request a pan sauce reduction with broth or white wine, butter, and herbs). Explicitly request no mlinci or other starchy sides. Confirm vegetables are prepared without high-carb additions like potatoes or sugary glazes.
