Swaps

Turkey breast → chicken breast (similar protein content), wholewheat pasta → lentil pasta (more protein and fibre), broccoli → green beans (also with fibre), olive oil → ghee (stable at high heat for frying)

Allergens

Contains gluten from the wholewheat pasta; suitable for children if the turkey breast is cooked through and the broccoli is soft enough, and the same applies during pregnancy: always cook poultry all the way through.
