Swaps
Turkey breast → chicken breast (a direct, very similar alternative).
Cooking tips
Rinsing the quinoa before cooking is a must. If you don't, the whole dish will end up tasting slightly soapy.
Storage
Keep leftovers in a container in the fridge. The next day, the bowl tastes almost even better cold as a salad.
