San Choy Bow

One of my favourite summer dishes, San Choy Bow is high in protein, low carb, quick and easy to assemble and this version includes a boost of nutrients. Just 30 minutes to prepare and cook, this recipe makes 4 servings.

Turkey mince is a great source of lean protein, abundant in the amino acid tryptophan which converts to our feel good hormone, serotonin. It also contains the same amount of iron as beef. Seaweed contains a wide range of nutrients, such as minerals like iodine and iron, plus it adds a great flavour to the mince mixture!
