Healthy Inspirations Salamanca is located on Castray Esplanade opposite Princes Wharf and just a short stroll from funky Salamanca Place. Our space is not like the usual cavernous characterless gym. We are situated in a 170 year old sandstone building that used to store the Colony's firearms. Now it houses women with a burning desire to lose weight and get fit!

Relax - it's good for you!

One of the key components to weight loss that we often overlook is relaxation. In today's society we lead very stressful lives, and this can impede our weight loss efforts, so it is important that you take time to relax. Why not drop in and try our relaxtion room? We have a Shiatsu massage chair, aromatherapy, soft lighting and relaxing music - it is a great 'me time' place.

Recipes to help you lose weight without losing your mind!

Turkey with Quince & Pistachio Couscous

1 protein, 1 starch, 1 fat

Serves 8

190g (1 cup) couscous

250ml (1 cup) boiling water

Olive oil spray

1 large brown onion, coarsely chopped

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground corriander

50g quince paste, choppped

55g (1/3 cup) unsalted pastachio kernels, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup chopped fresh continental parsley

2 (about 2kg) turkey breast fillets, skin removed

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Place couscous in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Use a fork to separate the grains.

2. Meanwhile, spray a frying pan with olive oil spray and place over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the cumin and corriander and cook, stirring for 1 minute or until aromatic.

3. Add the onion mixture, quince paste, pistachios and parsley to the couscous and combine. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Place the turkey, breast-side down, on a clean work surface. Open out the tenderloin so each breast lies flat. Spoon the stuffing along the centre of each breast and fold over tenderloin to enclose filling. Use unwaxed kitchen string to tie the turkey breasts at 2cm intervals.

5. Place the turkey breasts in a roasting pan. Spray with olive oil spray. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until golden and juice runs clear when a skewer is inserted into thickest part. Cover with foil and set aside for 15 minutes to rest. Remove string. Thinly slice the turkey across the grain and serve.
