A high-protein, heart-healthy masterpiece that balances lean, herb-rubbed turkey with the creamy decadence of fresh avocado. Perfect for a refined lunch or a light, excellent dinner.

The Ingredients

2 large turkey breasts (organic)
2 ripe Hass avocados, sliced
4 cups baby arugula
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tsp smoked paprika
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
Handful of toasted pumpkin seeds

Method

1. Season turkey with paprika, salt, and pepper. Sear in a hot pan until golden and cooked through. Rest for ten minutes.
2. Whisk olive oil and lemon juice into a bright, emulsified dressing.
3. Toss arugula, tomatoes, and onion in a large bowl with half the dressing.
4. Slice turkey into elegant strips. Arrange atop the greens with avocado slices. Drizzle with remaining dressing and scatter pumpkin seeds.

Stewart's Secret: For the most luxurious texture, brush your avocado slices with a tiny hint of lime juice. It locks in the vibrant green hue and adds a zesty pop.
