Turmeric Scrambled Eggs with Chicken

Tuck into these bowls of healthy turmeric scrambled eggs with chicken. They're low fat, Slimming World friendly with a pinch of cheddar cheese!

Have any of your meal plans gone out the window too recently because of the gorgeous weather?  Maybe a BBQ and a some lollipops?

Well, on Sunday I defrosted some chicken which got dismissed due to my fiance's power of persuasion for pizza and Fabs lollies.  

And seeing as I don't like waste, this meant the chicken was mine on the Monday (don't worry it was still fine to eat).

I love trying something new almost each meal time (for me and you on here), I thought this time I'd have a go at a scrambled egg hash but throw some fresh wholesome veggies in too.

I was not disappointed, that's for sure.  And a little fact I picked up from Lorraine Pascale at the BBC Good Food Winter Show last year is that Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory and she eats it in some form every day for sports injuries.

I even know people apply who've applied it to their dog's skin problems and it's worked but please do your own research if you are going to attempt it.

So I'm taking a leaf out of Lorraine's book and am on a mission to use up my large bag more frequently for my own running injury but you can find many more turmeric recipes here if you do have or buy some (note: it's cheaper in Asda's World Food aisle ).
