Notes:

Dietician Azmina

“This winning recipe has lots of plus points. Firstly it uses turkey, which is a low-fat meat, and it’s skinless so is low in saturated fat. It is marinated in low-fat yoghurt and spices. And then you get chunky vegetables in between each cube of turkey, helping you towards your 5 A DAY. It uses no added salt, but there is some salt from the soy sauce – you could try making it with reduced salt soy sauce.”
