Turkey and Egg Salad with Greek Yogurt and Parmesan
Picture this: a fridge full of random ingredients and a craving for something fresh yet satisfying.
Romaine lettuce was there, looking crisp and ready, practically begging to be the star of the show.
Then there was the turkey breast, tired of being stuck between two slices of bread, dreaming of something more adventurous.
Add to that some eggs, which were just about to reach their prime, and a container of Greek yogurt that needed rescuing from its lonely spot in the back of the fridge.
With a little imagination and a lot of hunger, these ingredients came together in a way that made sense.
A little honey and soy sauce here, a squeeze of lemon there, and suddenly, this salad wasn’t just a meal — it was a full-blown flavor fiesta.
The final touch of Parmesan was the chef’s kiss that brought it all together.
With each bite, you'll discover a delightful mix of textures and flavors that make this salad anything but ordinary.
The crispy lettuce, tender turkey, and creamy yogurt dance together in perfect harmony.
Every ingredient plays its part, creating a culinary symphony that’s both satisfying and refreshing.
It’s a vibrant celebration of what happens when creativity meets the contents of your fridge.
Ingredients:
- 4-5 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 3 soft-boiled eggs
- 200 g (7 oz) turkey breast fillet
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 4-5 cherry tomatoes
- 3-4 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 30 g (1 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt, freshly ground black pepper, and spices to taste
Preparation:
-
Get Leafy:
- Start by washing the Romaine lettuce leaves. Give them a good chop, and lay them out in a large salad bowl or on a serving platter. This will be the crunchy base of your salad.
-
Marinate the Magic:
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, and finely chopped garlic. Thinly slice the turkey breast and let it soak in this delicious marinade for about 15-20 minutes. It’s like a spa treatment for your turkey!
-
Sizzle and Serve:
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the marinated turkey slices until they’re golden and juicy—about 2-3 minutes per side. Lay these warm, tasty slices right on top of your bed of lettuce.
-
Eggcellent Addition:
- Boil the eggs just enough to keep the yolks slightly runny (about 4-5 minutes). After cooling and peeling, chop them into large chunks. Gently place them on top of the turkey.
-
Tomato and Top Off:
- Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and scatter them across the salad. Dollop a few spoonfuls of Greek yogurt over everything, adding a creamy touch. Finally, shower the whole dish with a generous amount of grated Parmesan. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.
-
Enjoy:
- Serve this vibrant salad immediately and enjoy the mix of warm, cool, crisp, and creamy textures that’ll dance on your taste buds
