MONDAY
TURKEY, STRAWBERRY & AVOCADO SALAD
PREP 15 MINS COOK 10 MINS SERVES 2 (AS A MAIN)
1 Put turkey fillets between two sheets of baking paper and use a rolling pin to bash to a 1cm thickness. Put turkey, lemon slices and garlic into a medium, deep non-stick frying pan. Cover with water so the turkey is submerged. Bring to the boil over a medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 10 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through and the juices run clear. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and set aside to cool slightly.
2 Whisk the lemon zest and juice and the maple syrup in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil, then the poppy seeds. Season with pepper.
3 Use two forks to shred the turkey. Divide the spinach, avocado, strawberries and basil between plates and top with the turkey. Drizzle with the dressing and serve.
