Looking to get fit but still enjoy your food? Cheryl Forberg, nutritionist for “The Biggest Loser,” shares three calorie-saving recipes from the book “The Biggest Loser 30-Day Jump Start” — including Southwestern turkey salad wraps, pesto pizzettas and a pumpkin smoothie — to help you shed those unwanted pounds while still eating tasty meals.
Makes 6 (1⁄2-cup) servings (about 3 cups turkey salad)
This flavorful turkey breast salad is tossed in dressing with yogurt, onion, dried fruit, cumin, and other spices, then wrapped in a whole-grain tortilla.
INGREDIENTS
Dressing
Turkey
Wraps
To make the dressing: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, barbecue sauce, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and coriander. Set aside.
To prepare the turkey salad: Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for about 4 minutes, or until soft and just beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer, but don’t allow it to brown. Add the turkey and cook, stirring frequently, for about 4 minutes, or until it’s just cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the turkey from the heat and season with the salt. Add the turkey mixture to the dressing in the mixing bowl, then add the prunes and cilantro. Stir to combine.
To assemble the wraps: Place about 1⁄2 cup of salad on each warmed tortilla. Add the lettuce and tomato, if desired, and roll up the tortillas, burrito-style. The turkey salad is equally delicious served without the tortillas.
