Turmeric Chicken with Mango Salsa
This Turmeric Chicken is one of my favorite dishes to make, bursting with spices and flavors! I picked up some fresh autumn turmeric (a deeper orange) from the farmers market in Okinawa and have stored them in our fridge for as long as I could. This meal follows the Mediterranean Diet but its flavors remind me so much of Malaysian dishes I grew up eating.
