Step 1
Season the 1 lb turkey breast with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the turkey until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lemon, 2 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the dressing.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine 6 cups mixed greens, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, 1/2 cup walnuts, 1 medium carrot (peeled into ribbons), and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.
Step 4
Add the sliced turkey to the salad bowl and drizzle with the lemon dressing.
Step 5
Toss everything together until well coated. Serve immediately, garnished with extra walnuts or cranberries if desired.
