In a small sauce pan over medium heat, warm olive oil. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano, coriander, cumin, and turmeric until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Quickly whisk into the bowl with the garlic, the garlic will sizzle a bit. Whisk in 2 ½ tablespoons lemon juice. Add shredded turkey meat, ½ teaspoon salt, and toss until evenly coated. Taste and add salt if desired. Set aside.
In a medium bowl whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, remaining 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice, remaining 1 teaspoon minced or pressed garlic, remaining ½ teaspoon oregano, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, and liquid stevia extract until fully combined.
On a large platter, layer most of the roughly chopped lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, halved grape tomatoes, shredded turkey from step 2, and Atkins Ranch Protein Chips. Dollop salad evenly with yogurt dressing and serve. One serving is about 135g lettuce, 20g red onion, 1 ¼ ounces grape tomatoes, about 3 ounces seasoned shredded turkey, 8 grams chips, and 3 tablespoons dressing.

Cooking Tip

After heavy holiday meals, this refreshing leftover turkey salad is the perfect change in flavor profile. We developed this salad with shredded turkey, but it also works well with roasted chicken. Simply replace shredded turkey with 12-ounces shredded rotisserie chicken for a delicious lunch or dinner any time of year!
