Mediterranean-Inspired Turkey and Rice
with Tomato-Feta Salsa
Lemon pepper-dusted turkey breasts are cooked together with the rice in this Mediterranean-inspired dish, which helps to ensure they come out tender and full of flavour. A bright and briny tomato-feta salsa is served alongside to add freshness to every savoury bite.
Produced in a facility that processes milk, sesame, eggs, fish, shellfish, crustaceans, mustard, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybean and sulphites.
