Clean Eating Lemon & Chilli Turkey

I am the queen of over cooking turkey.  No matter how hard I try not to, when I cook turkey in my oven it always comes out dry. Luckily for me I quite like dry foods but it does me no favours when I’m cooking for my husband.

My husband is not a clean eater by choice. Everything I cook for him is clean but he doesn’t choose to eat clean outside of our home. He is not a fan of turkey and even less of a fan of dry turkey so I’m always a little apprehensive to serve it.

However, my oven is currently out of action and so this week I had no choice but to cook my turkey on the hob and for the first time ever my husband was loving it! Instead of the usual ‘Charlie, please can we have chicken’ he was asking for more! Ahhh… it was like music to my ears and I shall remember that although it is a pain in the bottom not having my oven, if it wasn’t broken I may never have tried out my favourite turkey recipe on the hob! Silver linings and all that 😉

Clean Eating Lemon & Chilli Turkey is quick, inexpensive, lean and nutritious. It is one tasty moist meal that will even keep the men folk happy. We served ours with some new potatoes, salad and coleslaw.
