Turkey – Not Just for Thanksgiving!
Turkey is a versatile choice for meals and a good source of protein.
It’s also rich in niacin, Vitamins B6 & B12 and choline. Turkey is a good source of magnesium and phosphorus, plus provides iron, potassium, and zinc. It’s also high in selenium, which may help support your immune system.
Enjoy some turkey this summer so you can maintain good health for your summer fun!
Try turkey atop your salads or grain bowls filled with colorful vegetables. This taste of the Caribbean is one you’re sure to add to your family’s menu any time of year!
Caribbean Turkey Steaks
Ingredients:
- 4 Plainville Farms Turkey Steaks
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3/4 tsp. ketchup
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp. thyme
- 1/2 tsp. brown sugar (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. Caribbean curry powder
- 1 Tbsp. oil
Directions:
- Finely slice the onion and crush and mince the garlic. Place into a dish and add in the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, and thyme. Place the turkey steaks into the marinade and turn to coat. Cover with a lid and place in the fridge to marinate for 30 mins or more (best overnight).
- Once marinated, remove the turkey from the fridge. Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan to high heat. Place the turkey and onions in the hot pan. Cook for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for 3 minutes on the other (until browned).
- Pour in the remaining marinade sauce and turn the heat down to medium. Continue to cook until the turkey is cooked through. Serve over a salad or rice.
