Turkey Club Salad With Avocado And Mayo Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients until smooth. Add the greens, turkey, avocado and tomatoes; toss to coat. Top with coarse ground pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bread: Use 3 slices of a good white sandwich bread (pain au lait or Pullman loaves are ideal). Be sure to toast it!
• Lettuce: Bibb and Boston lettuce both have nice small, soft leaves that fit well on the sandwich; shredded iceberg can be unruly.
• Tomatoes: Add 2 slices of tomato to each layer of a club; season with salt and pepper before you continue building the sandwich.
• Turkey: Fresh roasted turkey is key. Rub a 2 1/4-pound skinless, boneless turkey breast with olive oil; sprinkle generously with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Roast 10 minutes at 425˚ F, then reduce to 350˚ F and roast until the internal temperature is 160˚ F, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then slice.
• Mayonnaise: Spread a thick layer of mayo on each slice of toasted bread.
• Bacon: You'll want 3 slices per sandwich (1 1/2 slices in each layer). Halve the slices first, then cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.

Steps:

• Crisp the bacon in microwave according to package directions. Remove from microwave and chop. Of course, any bacon or turkey bacon which you have on hand may be substituted. These pre-rendered bacon products simply allow you to keep more heat out of the kitchen by giving you the option of a low-maintenance microwave preparation.
• Chop romaine lettuce and arrange on large platter. Arrange a bed of pea shoots or sprouts on top of the lettuce then arrange the tomatoes and chopped red onion on top of that. Season the salad vegetables with salt and pepper, to your taste. Scatter chopped bacon onto salad.
• Remove the rotisserie turkey from the bone with a sharp carving knife. Slice the rotisserie breast meat on an angle into strips. For thick cut turkey from the deli, julienne the meat into 1/2-inch strips. Arrange the sliced turkey down the center of the salad platter.
• Cut all around the ripe avocados down to the pit. Twist and separate the halved fruit. Remove the pit with a spoon, then scoop the flesh with a spoon into your food processor bowl. Add the zest and juice of 1 lemon to the food processor. Chop garlic on your board and mash with 1 teaspoon salt to paste the garlic. Add garlic paste and the red wine vinegar to the food processor. Place lid on the food processor and turn it on. While the blade is spinning, stream in extra-virgin olive oil and add hot sauce. Stop processor, taste dressing and adjust seasonings. Pour dressing back and forth over the platter evenly when you are ready to serve this simple and so-cool salad meal.

Steps:

• Cook the eggs in a large pan of boiling water for 8 mins. Drain, transfer to a bowl of cold water and leave to cool.
• Heat the grill to high. Put the pancetta on a baking sheet lined with foil and grill for 3-4 mins, or until crisp. Pat with kitchen paper to remove any excess oil and leave to cool.
• Whisk the oil, vinegar, mustard, parsley and garlic together. Peel and halve the eggs.
• Arrange the turkey, chicory, avocado, tomatoes, pancetta and eggs on a large platter. Drizzle over the dressing, season and serve with the seeds on the side for sprinkling over.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until crisp, then transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Meanwhile, purée avocado, mayonnaise, 1/3 cup water, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a blender until smooth, thinning with water if necessary.
• Heat grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
• Brush cut sides of bread with some of oil. Grill bread, cut sides down, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Toss turkey with remaining oil and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Grill turkey, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes total, then cut into 1-inch strips.
• Toss romaine, cabbage, tomatoes, and croutons in a large bowl, then top with turkey, crumbled bacon, and a dollop of dressing.
• Toss just before serving and serve remaining dressing on the side.
