Ingredients Â
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- 2 tsp rosemary
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp sea salt divided
- 1 lb skinless turkey breasts
Dressing
- ½ cup 2% Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp almond milk
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- ¼ tsp onion powder
Assemble
- 6 cups mixed greens
- ½ cup red onion sliced thin
- ¼ cup walnut pieces
- ½ cup strawberries sliced
- ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375.
-
Combine fresh thyme and rosemary on a cutting board, using a sharp knife to chop fine. Add the herbs, lemon zest, olive oil and ¼ tsp sea salt to a small bowl; mix well to combine.
-
Place the turkey breast onto a cookie sheet, or oven-proof dish; use a spoon to spread the herb mixture evenly over the top. Roast the turkey in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165F.
-
While the turkey is roasting, combine all of the dressing ingredients, plus ¼ tsp sea salt, in a small mixing bowl. Use a whisk to combine well. Place dressing in the fridge to chill until it’s time to assemble the salad.
-
Once the turkey is fully cooked, transfer from the pan to a plate or cutting board. Use two forks to pull the turkey meat into small pieces. Set aside to cool slightly while you make the salad.
-
Place greens, onions, walnuts and strawberries into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle about 3 tablespoons of dressing over top and toss well to combine; add more dressing to suit your preferences, if necessary.
-
Divide the salad evenly onto 3 plates and crumble the goat cheese over top of each. Add the pulled turkey to each plate and serve!
