Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 bone-in, skin-on turkey breast
  • 1 teaspoon each: ground coriander, cumin, turmeric and salt
  • 1 tablepoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 cup mayo (preferably homemade)
  • 3 teaspoons curry powder of choice (some are more spicy than others)
  • Juice of one lime
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced chives or scallions (green ends only)
  • 1 cup finely diced celery
  • 1 medium apple (omit if you have digestive issues), finely diced
  • 1/3 cup golden raisins (omit if you have digestive issues)
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro or parsley
 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Prepare the turkey breast by mixing coriander, cumin, turmeric and salt with 1 tablespoon olive oil and rubbing it under the skin and and on both sides of the turkey.
  3. Place in a 9×13 baking dish. Add a little stock or water to the pan (1/2 cup) and cover with foil, which helps keep the meat moist.
  4. Cook 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the turkey breast. Check the temperature along the way. Meat thermometer should read 165 when it’s done.
  5. Let the meat cool for at least 30 minutes, or until it’s comfortable to the touch.
  6. Remove and discard the skin, then chop the meat into bite-size pieces.
  7. Put mayo in a large mixing bowl, and add the curry powder and lime juice.
  8. Add the chopped turkey, celery, apples, raising and fresh herbs.
  9. Toss thoroughly to mix.

Notes

Serving notes: This is completely delicious on its own. But it’s also great on a piece of gluten-free toast that’s been drizzled with olive oil. And the balance of protein and carbs will keep you satiated a little longer. It’s also great on a bed of sliced romaine that has been tossed with a little olive oil, lime juice and salt.
