Turkey Curry Salad

mmmmmmmmm...turkey leftover recipe....

Ingredients
2 cups chopped turkey-I used a mix of light and dark meat, and figured calories as such
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon plain non-fat greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayo-I like full fat mayo. Hate me if you'd like, but I just use less.
3 tablespoons red curry powder-this is very spicy, so less if you'd like
1/4 cup raisins (or cranberries, which taste even better)
1 small apple, chopped(I like Gala, but I think a tart green apple would be great too)
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped green onion (green parts too!)
1/4 cup chopped celery
Handful of fresh chopped cilantro
juice of one lime
Kosher salt to taste


Directions
Dump the curry spice in a pan and heat over low for a minute or two, just to release the flavors a little. My kitchen smells amazing after doing this.

Whisk the yogurt, mayo and spices together in a small bowl.

In a larger bowl, combine all ingredients, first squeezing the lime directly over the apple pieces before adding them to prevent browning. Refrigerate.

1/2 cup is around 216 calories, and is perfect wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla with carrot sticks and spinach.
