Method
Slice the turkey1 breast lengthwise into two 1.5 cm (½-inch) thick cutlets, season with salt and pepper.
Heat half the oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the turkey1 for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown. The meat should be white inside with clear juices. Let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Whisk together the yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon10 juice, honey, remaining oil, and a pinch of salt for the dressing.
Slice the apple3 into thin wedges and the red6 onion into thin half-moons. Toast the walnuts5 in a dry skillet for 2 minutes, then chop roughly.
Arrange the spinach on a plate, top with apple3, onion, and turkey1. Drizzle with dressing, scatter cranberries and walnuts5 over the top.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cut the fillet lengthwise into two layers. Thin pieces cook through in 5 to 6 minutes per side and stay juicy.
- Substitutions
- Use 10 g of raisins or chopped dried apricots instead of cranberries. Almonds, 12 g, can replace the walnuts.
- Common mistakes
- Turkey dries out when it stays on the heat longer than 6 minutes per side. It is done when the cut is white and the juices run clear.
- Storing and reheating
- Keeps up to 1 day in the fridge, with the dressing apart. Warm the turkey in a pan for 1 to 2 minutes and add fresh spinach.
- Serve with
- Serve with a slice of whole-grain bread for dinner.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
