Ingredients
Scale
- 15 ounce can chickpeas, drained, rinsed and skins removed
- 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 turkey tenderloin (about 8 ounces)
- 1/2 cup uncooked farro
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 6 ounces mixed spring greens
- 1 Honeycrisp apple, sliced thinly
- 2 seedless clementines, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
For the Clementine Vinaigrette
- Juice of two clementines, about 2 tablespoons
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Make sure chickpeas are well dried, and in a medium bowl, coat them with 1 tablespoon olive oil and brown sugar, as well as a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the beans in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes or until they are golden brown. Stir occasionally. Remove and allow them to cool on the pan.
- Sprinkle poultry seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt over the turkey tenderloin. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and turkey. Cook 30-35 minutes or until done (165 degrees F), turning to brown evenly.
- Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add the farro, cover, and reduce heat to medium low. Cook 30 minutes, or until the farro has a slight chew. Drain off any excess liquid and cool.
- When turkey is cooked through, transfer to a cutting board and cover with foil to rest for 5 minutes. Then slice on an angle.
- Arrange the greens and apples on a platter or large shallow bowl, and arrange the turkey, farro, and chickpeas over the greens. Top with clementines, cranberries, and cheese.
For the Clementine Vinaigrette
- In a small jar with a tight fitting lid, mix clementine juice, vinegar, honey, oil, mustard and salt and pepper. Cover and shake until emulsified.
