Nutritional Tips

Chicken mince or turkey mince is generally lower in fat compared to beef or pork. They are a good source of protein and vitamin Bs. Chicken or turkey are not heavy/fatty but are still meat (some parts are fattier than others, e.g. breast is less fat compared to thigh). Therefore, they give nice flavours to the dish. They can be incorporated into many recipes. 

For example, chicken meatballs (soups, pasta, hotpot), chicken minced meat steaks (burger), chicken nuggets, and stuffed vegetables (mushrooms, peppers). I will introduce more recipes another time.
