“Curried” Turkey-Avocado Salad (AIP)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1/2 pound cooked turkey breast ; cubed
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Method

1. In small bowl, combine first seven ingredients (all the spices). Heat dry skillet over medium-high and pour spice mixture into hot skillet. Toast, stirring, for 20 seconds to release aromas. Remove from heat.
2. In medium bowl, mash avocado (should be about 1/2 cup). Add cranberries and maple syrup, and stir to combine. Add chicken, celery, walnuts, and 1/2 tablespoon of the spice mix. Stir gently until thoroughly combined. Store the remainder of the spice mix in a small zip-lock bag to use as an AIP substitute for curry powder.
