  • Turkey Citrus Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing

    Serving Size : 6

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    9 cups spinach -- washed
    4 1/2 cups grapefruit -- cut into sections, drained, juice reserved
    3 cups oranges -- cut into sections, drained, juice reserved
    3 cups cooked turkey -- cubed
    1 1/2 teaspoons honey (count points)
    3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
    3/4 teaspoon paprika
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
    1 dash ground ginger
    1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise

    Prepare grapefruit and oranges. As you cut the fruit in half and then sections, gently squeeze (don't wring it, just a gentle squeeze) the halves to get some juice. Reserve about 1/4 cup juice for each fruit and set aside. Continue breaking fruit up into sections.

    Arrange spinach on six dinner plates; then arrange grapefruit and orange sections alternately in spoke-wheel fashion on spinach. Place 1/2 cup turkey in center of each fruit wheel.

    Dressing: In a small bowl, measure 1/4 cup reserved orange juice, adding grapefruit juice to equal 1/2 cup. Add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.

    Pour dressing over prepared plates.
