Ingredient Substitution Guide

directions

Step 1

Preheat grill to high.

Step 2

Pound the turkey breast to ¾-inch thickness.

Step 3

In a shallow baking pan or bowl, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil and red pepper flakes. Add turkey and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes so flavours meld. Season turkey with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Grill turkey over high to medium high heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side or until turkey is just cooked through. Let cool to room temperature. Slice turkey on the diagonal and reserve for salad.

Step 5

Make the salad dressing by whisking together the shallots, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, pepper and grapeseed oil and olive oil in a small bowl.

Step 6

In a large serving bowl, add the sliced turkey, pecans, Brie, radicchio, romaine, red leaf and grape tomatoes. Toss salad with enough dressing to taste. Serve immediately. Makes 6 to 8 servings, depending on if served as a meal or appetizer.
