Turkey wellington is a classic recipe, works well for my diet plans. It is a high protein snack for my festive season, house parties and workout days. A little culinary skills are required to get the desired results for cooking turkey wellington, but once you know how to make it you can become an expert in making this high protein snack delight easily. For me it is a wonderful recipe for a bodybuilder who need lean protein all the time. For making it low in calorie I use low fat pastry flour for the crust. For the stuffing you can be imaginative and stuff whatever you like, here I am going to stuff my wellington with cranberries.
