Turkey Twizzers.

This was on Lorraine this morning..they're making some really healthy recipes so we can all look fabulous on the beach..I think I've lost weight just eating it.. ;-)


Grind Cumin seed in a pestle and mortar...the aroma is intoxicating!


Add ground cumin, lemon zest, crushed garlic, chopped parsley, salt and pepper to turkey mince.


Form into sausage shapes on a skewer (twizzer!) and chill for 20 mins before griddling or grilling until cooked through.

Quinoa tabbouleh..spring onion, white onion, red pepper, cucumber, tomato, mint, lemon juice, black pepper and olive oil.
