Turkey or chicken fillet is the perfect choice for a Valentine's Day dinner: it's tender, light, but still looks delicious. And so that the dish is not bland and is remembered for a long time, a marinade with honey, rosemary and orange zest is enough. It's ready faster than you can light the candles, and the aroma creates the atmosphere of a real holiday.
