Funke Koleosho's Turkey Suya Skewers |
This holiday season has been so busy, that I had no time to post my planned Christmas menu recipes.... such a shame...! Nevertheless, I am posting the recipes herewith, though a little late for Christmas, but you can certainly use them to create exciting party food to entertain guests, whatever the occasion...!
To treat my friends and family this festive season, I put up a 4 course menu. One key thing....turkey, being the bird of the season, features in each dish...(except the dessert of course). Check it out below'
