Punchy Parmesan Turkey Kale Salad | recipe

Updated: Jul 7, 2020

A protein packed salad with plenty of punch!

Is this a salad? A warm salad I'd say, but could also just be classed as a sauté dish.

It packs a huge punch in both protein and flavour. The citrus notes from the marjoram and the lemon makes this a lovely dish for Spring and Summer.


It's a super simple recipe that works for lunch or dinner, and you could replace the turkey with chicken if you prefer.

 

Ingredients


Serves | 2

  • 300g turkey breasts - cut into strips

  • 1 tsp marjoram

  • 1 medium onion - finely diced

  • 4 cloves garlic - minced

  • 350g kale, stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped

  • 0.5-1 tsp dried chilli pepper flakes (depending on how much of a kick you would like)

  • A generous pinch of sea salt

  • A few twists of freshly ground black pepper

  • 150ml dry white wine

  • 0.5 lemon - zest, and keep aside

  • 50g grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

 

Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil to a wok or large frying pan on a medium-high heat.

  2. Add the turkey breasts and marjoram, and pan fry for about 2 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your strips, until just cooked.

  3. Remove the turkey and set aside.

  4. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil into the pan.

  5. Add the onion and garlic, and cook on a low-medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until the onion is soft.

  6. Add the kale, chilli pepper flakes and lemon zest, and quickly sauté for 1 minute to coat in the oil and spices.

  7. Add the wine and squeeze the lemon juice into the pan. Cook on a high heat for 2-3 minutes until the kale is cooked.

  8. Plate up, and sprinkle the Parmesan over each serving - Parmesan snowy goodness!

Bon appetit!
