Chef’s suggestions:

  • You can also eat this dish cold in a sandwich or with salad for a light lunch.
  • For gluten-free, replace the oat flakes with rice flakes.
  • For dairy-free, use soy milk instead of skim milk.
  • For vegetarian, use quorn or TVP (textured vegetable protein) instead of turkey mince.
