The Trouble with Turkey

Upon reading the title most will think that I'm either really bored, or slightly mental but fortunately. Neither are really true.

I've recently started a new weight training program that aims to build as much muscle while losing as much unnecessary weight as possible so by the time the next rugby season comes around i should be in peak physical condition. I have no problem with attending the gym- I'm not particularly fond of it but who is?- but the lack of tasty food is what truly destroys me at this point. 
I come from a home with lots of good hearty food that tasted like heaven but a diet that revolves mainly around chicken and rice couldn't be further from what i was used to back home. Although pasta, vegetables and potatoes are also mingled in with the training program the main components are supposed to be rice and chicken- although this was changed to turkey due to the surprising cost of chicken- and to be honest there's just not that much you can do with turkey. Christmas dinners just wont be the same
