Do you ever hit that midweek slump and don't know what to cook? This recipe by The Fit Foodie is the answer. Did you know turkey is loaded with health benefits? Tryptothan found in turkey is mood-enhancing (produces serotonin), immune strengthening and can help for a better night's rest!
Ingredients: Portions: 4
2 tablespoons peanut oil
500 lean turkey mince
