Method

  1. Slice the turkey1 breast lengthwise into two 1.5 cm (½-inch) thick cutlets, season with salt and pepper.

  2. 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.

  3. Whisk together the yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon10 juice, honey, remaining oil, and a pinch of salt for the dressing.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
