Ginger and lemon turkey (or chicken)
Even though daily cooking tends to be quite repetitive, sometimes you stop making something for no clear reason. The other day my eldest son was fondly remembering a chicken dish I used to make for a quick and tasty school day dinner years ago. So I made it as a Summer lunch today, using turkey instead of chicken, and happily it tasted the way he remembered 😊

Yum!This made a LOT more sauce than I thought it would so if you want it less saucy you could cut the sauce ingredients in half or double the meat.
