Spiced Lemon Turkey – If you’re looking for a delicious meal that is healthy, light on calories, and fairly allergen free…this is a great meal!
The dish in its entirety is served along with a Lemon Thyme Basmati rice side. I typically serve the meal with the Turkey on top of the Rice and a second side of veggies, such as;steamed or roasted asparagus and/or Sautéed Spinach Salad similar to an old My Fit Foods meal…but BETTER! Enjoy! I know I do!
