  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350° F. Place the turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan.

  • Step 2

    In a small bowl, combine the garlic, mustard, salt, lemon zest, onion powder and lemon juice. Spread the paste evenly on the turkey.

  • Step 3

    Roast the turkey according to package instructions, until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165° F when inserted into the thickest part of the breast.

  • Step 4

    Allow the turkey to rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

  • Step 5

    Place quinoa in a fine mesh sieve. Rinse thoroughly under cold water.

  • Step 6

    Add quinoa to a medium saucepan; add a pinch of salt and the water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook until water is completely absorbed, about 20 minutes.

  • Step 7

    Transfer quinoa to a medium bowl along with chickpeas, lemon zest, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, lemon juice and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  • Step 8

    Serve slices of turkey over a bed of the quinoa.
