For a crisp but still flavorful salad, use Romaine lettuce instead of Boston lettuce as the base of this salad. Ingredients:
1 pound boneless turkey breast, skinned |
1 (14 1/4-ounce) can no-salt-added chicken broth |
3 tablespoons chili powder |
2 whole star anise |
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar |
1 tablespoon dried oregano |
1 sweet red pepper, cut into thin strips |
2/3 cup green onions, diagonally sliced |
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves |
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon peanut oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
8 cups torn boston lettuce (about 2 heads) |
Directions:
1. Place first 6 ingredients in a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 40 minutes or until turkey is done. Remove turkey; strain broth mixture, and set broth aside. Shred turkey. Combine turkey, red pepper, green onions, and cilantro. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
2. Bring reserved broth to a boil, and reduce to 1/2 cup. Remove from heat. Combine broth, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. Cover and chill dressing.
3. Arrange lettuce on individual salad plates. Arrange turkey mixture over lettuce. Drizzle dressing over salads.
