I love the fresh, exotic taste of this dish. Using ground turkey makes it refreshingly healthy and it's quick enough to make on a weeknight. This year I'm growing mint, parsley, chives, basil and thyme. I love growing herbs and finding new ways of using them. I came across this excellent recipe from My Hala Kitchen after doing a search for "turkey mint parsley" which is what I had on hand. I was pretty excited when the dish ended up tasting so good and the hubs and kids actually liked it too. I was able to put a little spin on it, borrowing some flavors from other recipes I've tried, by adding lime juice and feta cheese. Since not all recipes I try are good, I was glad this one was a success so I can now add it to the dinner line up. I'm really trying to branch out here and this was a good step in a new flavor direction!
