Turkey Salad In Lettuce Cups

Turkey salad often contains excess calories and fat due to the amounts of mayonnaise used. In this salad I bring the calories and fat right down by using a variety of diced vegetables and a barbecue based salad dressing, using only a small amount of light mayonnaise.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Steam or boil broccoli and carrots for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Rinse with cold water and drain.

2. In large bowl, stir together all salad ingredients except lettuce leaves.

3. Dressing: In small bowl, whisk together ingredients until smooth. Pour over turkey mixture; toss to coat.

4. Place a lettuce leaf, cupped side up, on each of six plates. Divide turkey salad among lettuce cups.
