Super lean and packed with protein, turkey is a great addition to this weeknight favourite and works brilliantly with the punchy cajun spices it is coated in. Served with a crunchy chipotle spiced slaw and creamy crushed beans, this healthy recipe is the perfect thing for an easy mid-week dinner. Top with chopped coriander, spring onion, a squeeze of fresh lime, and dig in!
