Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons sesame seeds
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon chopped peeled ginger
1/2 cup frozen cooked wheat berries or brown rice, thawed
8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved
1 bunch scallions, roughly chopped
1 pound rotisserie turkey breast or chicken breast (skin removed), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 carrot, shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
1 small or 1/2 large head iceberg lettuce, cut into large chunks

Steps:

  • Toast the sesame seeds in a large dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, the maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger and 3 tablespoons water; pulse until smooth. Set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the wheat berries and stir-fry until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the snap peas and scallions; stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the turkey, carrot, lettuce and sesame dressing; toss to coat.

I found this turkey salad to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to taste. I also think it would be better with some chopped celery or onion for some added crunch.

This turkey salad was a hit at my last potluck! I used roasted turkey instead of cooked turkey and it added a nice smoky flavor. I also added a bit of celery and red onion for a little crunch. Definitely a keeper!
