Turkey-Appple Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette
Back to Blog List

Tonight's dinner was wonderful and Jim bitched through the entire meal.  This was in the WW weekly and I loved it.  What was the problem?  In his estimation it was all vegetables and fruit.  He claimed that they outweighed the turkey.  I told him they didn’t it was that he was concentrating on his dislikes.  Jo enjoyed his leftovers.  

Ingredients:  

2 C sliced, shredded or chopped cooked skinless light turkey meat

2 ribs celery, chopped

1 medium apple , cored and diced

1/2 C golden seedless raisins, chopped (I used grapes instead)

4 cups shredded romaine lettuce

tomatoes (I added the last of the small tomatoes)

Instead of the following, I used Ken’s light raspberry dressing:

1 1/2 T raspberry vinegar

2 t EVOO

1/2 t ground coriander

1/4 t table salt

1/4 t ground black pepper

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine turkey, celery, apple, and raisins.  Toss to mix.  
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, coriander, salt and pepper.  
  3. Add dressing to turkey mixture, toss to combine.  
  4. Arrange lettuce on 4 plates and top with turkey salad.  (I mixed it all in a large salad bowl.)  

It served 4 at 5 points.  Of course substituting the grapes for raisins cut points drastically.  One quarter cup of raisins is 6 points, grapes are 0.

 

We ate it all after I told Jim to go in and pick out all the turkey and I would finish the veggies.  You’d think I was trying to kill him instead of saving his life.  They increased his Lipature to the point that it ruined his golf game.  He finally felt what affected me from the beginning, extreme muscle weakness.   So he stopped, the only thing more important than golf is not eating healthy.  Better luck next wife!
