TURKEY WALDORF SALAD



Turkey Waldorf Salad image

This is not your classic Waldorf salad, which is traditionally a mélange of apples, celery, raisins, walnuts and grapes in a thick mayonnaise-based dressing. Here, the dressing, thinned out and lightened with yogurt, is spiced with curry and cumin, and the salad mix includes a generous amount of chopped radicchio or endive, which bring a bitter dimension into the mix. This salad is also an excellent home for leftover Thanksgiving turkey.

CHINESE TURKEY SALAD



Chinese Turkey Salad image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 cup orange juice
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
One 3 to 3 1/2-pound bone-in, skinless turkey half-breast
2 cups vegetable oil
10 wonton wrappers, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
1/3 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted (see Cook's Note)
One 1-pound head romaine, torn into 1-inch pieces
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1/2 head Napa cabbage (8 ounces), shredded
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeds and ribs removed, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips

Steps:

  • For the turkey: In a 4 or 5-quart saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, orange juice, garlic and ginger. Add the turkey, breast-side down, and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F, 45 to 50 minutes. Let the turkey cool for 20 minutes. Using 2 forks, shred the meat into 2-inch pieces.
  • For the wontons: In a heavy, medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread should brown in about 4 minutes.) Add the wontons and fry until golden, 30 to 45 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  • For the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the grapeseed oil, soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, orange juice, sesame seeds, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  • For the salad: In a large salad bowl, toss together the almonds, romaine, iceberg lettuce, Napa cabbage, scallions and bell pepper. Add the dressing and the shredded turkey and toss until coated. Garnish with the fried wontons and serve.

TURKEY SALAD WITH GRAPES & WALNUTS



Turkey salad with grapes & walnuts image

Serve this turkey, grape and walnut salad for lunch. It provides protein, carbs and beneficial fats, and makes enough to serve two people over two days

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Lunch

Time 42m

Yield Serves 4 (2 people over 2 days)

Number Of Ingredients 13

450g baby potatoes
150g pot bio yogurt
1 tsp English mustard powder
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 red onion, finely chopped
400g pack turkey mini breast fillets
1 tsp rapeseed or olive oil
1 Romaine lettuce heart (200g), thickly sliced
1⁄2 x 85g pack watercress
2 green peppers, deseeded and diced
2 avocados, halved and sliced
150g black or red seedless grapes, halved
40g walnuts, broken into pieces

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes for 12-15 mins until tender, then drain and leave to cool a little. Cut the potatoes into thick slices. Mix together the yogurt, mustard and lime zest. Toss the potatoes with 4 tbsp of the dressing and 3 tbsp of the onion.
  • Put the turkey in a medium bowl and toss with the oil, then cook in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat for 10 mins, turning at least once until the turkey is cooked through.
  • When you're ready to serve, mix half the lettuce, watercress, half of the remaining onion and 1 of the peppers in a bowl. Top with half the potatoes, and slice and pile on half the turkey. Toss the avocado with a good squeeze of lime, then scatter half on top with half the grapes and half the walnuts. Spoon over half of the remaining dressing.
  • If packing this into lunchboxes, do the same with the remaining ingredients in the lunchboxes, but in reverse, so the green salad is at the top. Keep the dressing in a pot separately, to drizzle over just before eating. Will keep chilled for two days.
