Turkey is such a great alternative to beef or pork mince. We use it a lot. In fact, we had a turkey chilli earlier this week 🙂 x
Not the kind of diet for me, being veggie. It does look tasty though. Needs a bit of cheese though 😉
Looks DELISH and one that I could follow easily on SW! I’d have it minus the malt vinegar as am very sensitive to gluten 🙂
