As Spring begins to bloom, we truly want to add a bit of brightness to our dinner plate as well as the warm sun outdoors. Heavy gravy and breading are great for filling your tummy with warmth, but this time of year I long for charcoal grills and fresh green foods to satisfy. Here is a Lime Twist on your typical Wild Turkey dinner. Some salsa and chips with side item of rice complete the perfect plate. Maybe a Margarita for the fabulous finish. Whatever twist you put on it, this is a sure fire way to brighten your Spring Turkey Dinner.
