The turkey spam that dad has been buying lately actually is not too bad.
The texture is much better and it's ok fried too, or grilled in the

You can just leave it out, or try some parsley leaf. :-)
Dill goes well with seafood but it's not necessary if you don't care for
it. Some salt free lemon pepper can add a little "zest" to it.
