Lebanese Style Turkey Kebabs with Taboluli and Hommus

When you think Alfresco, think Turkey!

There is nothing more enjoyable during the warmer months than alfresco dining with family and friends, and turkey is the perfect addition to any outdoor meal! Whether it’s a poolside barbie, a lazy afternoon in the yard, or kicking back at the beach, an alfresco turkey feast is a delicious and easy option.

Besides the appeal of being outdoors, alfresco dining is also a favourite choice because it is inherently simple. Inghams easy turkey recipes allow the host or hostess to enjoy the people at the meal, rather than spending their time running in and out of the kitchen. After all, dining alfresco is meant to be relaxing, not stressful.
