Fresh Chicken Salad Sandwich

Last week I baked up a HUGE 24 lb turkey. By the end of the week Mr. Man and I were getting pretty sick of turkey! I decided to whip up some biscuits and make one of my favorite fresh sandwiches. I used the turkey meat, but it would be easy to use chicken. The salad would also be delicious on slices of cucumber if you wanted to skip the biscuits.

Fresh Chicken Salad
2 cups cooked, chopped chicken/turkey
1/2 cup paleo mayo
1/2 cup unsweetened cranberries (you could also replace this with fresh grapes, or add both!)
1 apple, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1 Tbsp lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp fresh chopped dill weed (if you don't have this on hand, dried works too)

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, and enjoy!

Flaky, Buttery, Biscuits
I found this recipe here. I ended up using 1/2 coconut flour and 1/2 almond meal because I was out of the blanched almond flour. It was still delicious, although you can see from my picture it doesn't look as "light" as hers does.

 

I served mine like an open faced sandwich. That way I could have more salad. :) They are very filling, which is always a good thing! Enjoy!

Fresh Danish Turkey Loaf

I love this recipe because it's easy and I can whip it up when I get home from the gym, shower while it's cooking and enjoy dinner before 10:00 at night. Let's not forget the fact that it has bacon on it! Bacon makes everything better. :)

This is a simple recipe- think about adding other veggies to the loaf. Mushrooms, black olives, broccoli, zucchini, just to name a few.

Fresh Danish Turkey Loaf

1 lb ground organic turkey

1 egg

4 Tbs almond flour

1 tsp sea salt (optional)

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 cup coconut milk (from a can, not So Delicious coconut milk)

1 onion, finely diced

4-5 slices of bacon

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Mix turkey, egg, almond flour, coconut milk, sea salt (optional), onions and black pepper in a bowl.

Shape into a loaf in an ungreased baking pan, and add the bacon strips across the top of loaf.

Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until fully cooked. There might be "soup" surrounding the loaf which you can just throw away or freeze for later use as stock in a real soup.
