Turkey Keema with Cabbage and Green Peas

'Keema' is a traditional Indian meat dish. The word Keema means minced meat. Typically, the Keema dish contain vegetables like Green Peas and Potato along with the meat but this recipe calls for Cabbage and Green Peas, a little unusual but that's what makes it special. You can use any meat like mutton, lamb, beef or chicken but I used Turkey to keep the dish as lean as possible.
My mom used to talk about a Keema dish that was served in a Restaurant besides her college hostel during her glory days and this dish was made with Beef and Cabbage. From this stemmed my inspiration to make this dish, to re-create past memories for my mom...
