    I often buy Inghams Turkey range as a substitute to beef. Burgers, sausages. My kids love spaghetti bolognese with Turkey mince.

    A quick and easy work lunch for me is fry up hoisin sauce, Turkey mince and red capsicum - heat in microwave at work and serve in lettuce leaves. It’s a healthy and quick meal that keeps me full afternoon. I freeze the mince mix in portions.

  • Absolutely delicious

    The sausages were absolutely delicious, I had them by themselves and I also put them in a lot of different meals. They changed up the flavour of the meals and it was a great change of flavour! Will definetly continue buying them! I love that they not only taste great but are a much healthier option as well! My kids loved them and I even managed to get my fussy partner to eat them too! I highly recommend buying these sausages as they are absolutely beautiful!

  • This brand is always high quality

    I love this brand the turkey the chicken just all of it. It’s amazing quality and tastes the best. My three younger fussy children who are under 7 even eat the meat from inghams which I think is absolutely amazing when with other brands I have struggled to get them to eat anything! Dinner is so easy to make when you have better quality meats so it is definitely a 5 star rating all around from me.

  • 5 Star rating from me!

    They took a while to locate but when I finally got my hands on them we couldn't wait to cook them and they are delicious! We got both the rissoles and the burgers and we all got to try a bit of all of them. My kids are partial to spicy flavours so they actually preferred the burgers! I am a bit fussy about burgers and normally make them from scratch and just love these as a a mess free, quick alternative. They're also less greasy than normal burgers nice to know you're doing your healthy bit too! Apologies,, I forgot to take a photo as the kids got their greasy mits on them down before I got chance to take the picture! Which I guess means I'll have to go out and buy them again :)

  • Quick tasty & great for the kids

    We loved the yummy burgers & rissoles.

    The burger flavour has a little spice to it but not too much that my 3 year old couldn’t eat & love.

    The rissoles were another great hit, I love that there quick to cook taste delicious & are lean.

    Thy will definitely be on our shopping list, thanks Inghams!

  • Never used before but love it!

    So I have never eaten or cooked turkey unless it is Christmas Day, but I read a recipe on this website that used it - so I thought I'd give it a try! And oh my goodness it is delicious and I heard healthier than other minced meat. Really glad we tried it and can now use another type of meat to give a different flavour to meals instead of the same old.

  • Great for low fat burgers

    The burgers were super moist as were the rissoles when cooked. It really didn’t feel like you were having anything that was low fat. I usually make burgers on a multigrain roll and include avocado with it. I then add mayo or BBQ sauce. Sometimes I will add a spice rub on the burgers.

  • Ingham is IN for my summer kitchen

    I just got an inghams pack and I like the turkey for a change. It wasn’t greasy. Was light to eat. And very convenient to cook as already made into rissoles and patti’s. I do like to make my own but sometimes I am time poor and this was a quality pack. 100% Aussie turkey got to love that. We did. And it’s not even summer. Some bigger packs would be nice too.

    I love the summer range of turkey inghams has brought out. The sausages and pattie are full of lean Turkey meat and flavours. They have been seasoned just right and when you throw them on the bbq the patties hold their shape and the sausages cook great. Im really happy turkey is becoming a lot more accessible these days. Its such a great protein without all the extra fats and preservatives other meats have.

How to choose the best lunch box for school

When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.

  • Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
  • Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
  • Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
  • Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
  • Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
  • The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

What to put in kids’ lunch boxes

Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:

  • Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
  • Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
  • Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
  • Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
  • Almond-meal slice with raspberries or blueberries – or both!
  • Vegetarian sausage rolls – these freeze well and make a great meat-free lunch when cold.

  • That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.

  • I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.

  • Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.

  • Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.

  • Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.

  • I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.

  • So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.

  • There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.

  • There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain

  • This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.

  • Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.

  • This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones

  • Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.

    Reply

  • These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.

  • I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.

  • My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags

  • Love our bento b.boxes. So easy to pack. I do however worry that they’re made of plastic, not metal….

  • My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.

    Reply

  • Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
