High-Protein Turkey & Cottage Cheese Salad
Method
Slice the cooked turkey breast into thin strips or bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the cucumber into small, even pieces.
In a separate bowl, combine the fat-free cottage cheese with the minced garlic. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir until well blended.
Add the tomatoes and cucumber to the turkey.
Spoon the cottage cheese dressing over the salad ingredients.
Gently toss everything together until the vegetables and turkey are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
For an even fresher flavor, stir chopped dill, parsley, or chives into the cottage cheese dressing. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a pinch of smoked paprika also complements the turkey beautifully. This refreshing, protein-packed salad is ideal for lunch, a light dinner, or post-workout recovery.
