Print Recipe
Servings 6 Serves

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 10 ounces frozen petite green peas
  • 2/3 cup low fat mayonnaise

  • 2 cups chopped turkey breast meat cooked, or use Thanksgiving leftovers
  • 1/2 cup shredded low fat Cheddar cheese
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 1 medium stalk celery sliced
  • 6 cups shredded Romaine lettuce

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Cook turkey if not using Thanksgiving leftovers. Prepare salad 1 hour before serving, if desired.
  • Cook and drain macaroni as directed on package; rinse with cold water then drain again. Rinse frozen peas with cold water to separate them; drain.
  • In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise and curry powder; stir in macaroni, peas and remaining ingredients, except Romaine lettuce.
  • If possible, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to blend flavors; serve on shredded lettuce.
