Keema is a seasoned ground meat dish that’s popular in many parts of South Asia. While traditional recipes usually call for lamb, my version features lean ground turkey, fresh vegetables, and plenty of low-FODMAP
spices. Add some steamed brown basmati rice for extra fiber, and you’ve got yourself a complete meal.
