Nutritional values

Little fat, but plenty of nutrients are put on the table here: turkey schnitzel scores with protein, the vegetables offer plenty of fibre and the rice brings satiating starch into play.

The dried apricots not only give the dish a fruity aroma, but with an extra portion of magnesium they also provide strong nerves and well-functioning muscles.
