directions
Combine garlic, sage, parsley, orange zest and olive oil in a large, non-reactive bowl.
Add the turkey steaks and turn to coat.
Preheat a grill on medium-high heat.
Remove the turkey steaks from the marinade.
Season the steaks with salt and pepper to taste.
Grill the turkey steaks about 1 to 2 minutes per side or until the steaks are cooked all the way through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Place the cranberries, orange flower honey, orange juice and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
Listen to the cranberries, when you hear them starting to pop (about 3 to 4 minutes) remove them from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
Just before serving, fold in the orange zest and the orange segments.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large ovenproof sauté pan heat the olive oil until it begins to smoke.
Add the butter and allow the butter to foam and brown.
Add the turnips, carrots, parsnips and beets and season with salt and pepper.
Saute the vegetables until they start to brown.
Place the vegetables into the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
Add the celery and roast for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and add the buckwheat honey and toss to coat all the vegetables.
Adjust the seasoning and finish with chopped Italian parsley.
Arrange some of the honey roasted root vegetables in the centre of each plate and top with a grilled turkey steak.
Finish the dish with a large spoonful of Orange Honey Infused Cranberries.
