Turkey Paella
Riverside Foods’ has a great range of premium quality turkey that comes in pre-cooked, fresh frozen, and chilled hams.
We take on the traditional Spanish paella and tweak it with the addition of quality turkey breast. The beauty of a well-executed paella recipe is that it appeals to so many. A dish that can’t often be done well at home, customers will flock to a venue that has the reputation to pull this Spanish dish off.
Paella also has the added benefit that it can be sized up to become a group dish, quite a novelty for customers and another appeal to putting this on your menu.
