Did you know that turkey is low-GI and can keep insulin levels stable? It also contains the amino acid tryptophan which its main role is to strengthen the immune system.

I know it can be an expensive meat to buy in Australia but here are some reasons why you should splurge some times.

Like all croquettes, they can be a little on the messy side to make but I love how they control your food intake (well that’s if you don’t go for seconds, thirds or more!)

These must be eaten with the cranberry/orange sauce, I tried it without it and they were no where near as nice.

Enjoy
