Turkey Mince Lasagne

Turkey Mince Lasagne

Turkey- It’s more than just for Christmas!


Too often Christmas is the only time of year when we see certain family and friends, and it can be the same with turkey! With the versatility of the many Inghams turkey cuts, it’s easy to incorporate this perfect protein into your daily meal routine, instead of using it as a once a year Christmas feast. With Inghams turkey products available at most Coles and Woolworths supermarkets across Australia, it’s now easier than ever to make turkey an everyday food.

Turkey Mince is an excellent lean substitute for lamb, beef, or pork mince. It can be prepared by the same cooking methods and offers a lean alternative to other meats. The natural mild taste of turkey combines readily with different seasonings, making it an ideal choice in spicy ethnic dishes like Thai Turkey Rissoles or Spicy Turkey Mince Potatoes. Turkey mince is also a wonderful addition to more traditional recipes like lasagne and meatloaf.
