We love that this recipe uses turkey mince which has a super high protein content and will leave you feeling satisfied. Combining the turkey mince with the timelessly fragrant flavours of ginger, garlic and coriander 100% guarantees you a seriously tasty meal. You can of course swap the turkey mince for chicken mince if you prefer – they’ll both work perfectly – it all comes down to personal preference!

Once cooked, your mince will be seriously juicy and jam packed with flavour and when served with the fresh lettuce and crisp cucumber, you’re in for a treat. We love adding some finely sliced fresh chilli for an extra kick.

We also love that this recipe is fantastic for those who have allergies making it a perfect option for a casual dinner party where you’ve got to cater for various allergies.

So, whenever you’re in the mood for a light, quick and easy dinner this recipe has you covered.
