Iceberg Lettuce With Turkey Cracklings Recipes

Steps:

• Remove any damaged outer leaves from the head of lettuce and cut the remainder of the head into 2-inch pieces.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spread the pieces of cooked turkey skin out on the sheet. Place in oven for about 15 minutes, until the skin is crisp and brown, and then drain it on paper towels. When the skin is cool, cut it into 1/2-inch pieces. You should have about 1 cup cracklings.
• Combine the mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper in a bowl large enough to hold the salad greens. At serving time, add the greens, toss well and sprinkle with the cracklings.

Steps:

• Spread about a teaspoon of mayonnaise on the inside of a large single outer leaf of iceberg lettuce. Place leaf on the counter and top with 2 slices of turkey breast, 2 bacon slices, 2 slices of cheese, and 1 to 2 tomato slices. Roll up like a burrito. Close with toothpicks and cut into pinwheels. Repeat to make 4 roll-ups.

Steps:

• Mash yogurt with blue cheese, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a grinding or two of pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice if necessary.
• Place each wedge of iceberg lettuce on a plate, drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with nuts if using.

Steps:

• Prepare the salad: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the frozen peas and asparagus, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the asparagus and peas are bright green and crisp tender. Drain and run under cold water until they are cold. Leave to drain.
• Prepare the lettuce: Run a sharp paring knife around the core and gently pull it out. Remove the outer layer of the lettuce and discard. Tear the lettuce into large chunks. Wash the leaves and allow them to dry in a colander. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
• Prepare the spicy cilantro yogurt: To a blender or small food processor, add the yogurt, cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and 1 jalapeño. Blitz until smooth. (Add a teaspoon of water at a time to get the mixture moving in the blender if necessary.) Taste and add the second jalapeño if you would like it spicier.
• Serve as one large salad or divide among four individual serving plates: Add the lettuce chunks to the plate, and scatter the asparagus and peas on top and around the lettuce. Spoon the spicy cilantro yogurt all over the vegetables, dot with feta and squeeze the juice from the lemon half over everything. Season with salt and black pepper, and top with a few cilantro leaves.
