Salad with Potatoes, Turkey and Avocado
Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu Cooking schedule: see below for instructions
We get such lovely turkey cutlets here that I use them often. If you can't find them you can get a turkey tenderloin and slice your own or use chicken breasts or tenders (something I can't get here).
