Lunch Box Idea #2 - Turkey Broccoli Slaw

Lunch Box Idea #2 - Turkey Broccoli Slaw served with Apple Wedges on the side.

I got this recipe from e-mealz at mealtimemakeover.com. The name really doesn't do it justice and I might have even skipped it but we really need some variation in the lunch area so we tried it out. The kids loved it and my husband did as well. It is worth the try!


1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
Natural sweetener Stevia equivalent to 2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
12oz package of broccoli slaw
1.5+lbs cooked turkey, cubed
1.5 cups seedless red grapes, halved
2 carrots coarsely shredded
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

In a screw top jar, combine vinegar, oil, sugar and salt. Cover and shake well. In a large bowl combine broccoli slaw, turkey, grapes and carrots. Add dressing toss to coat. Sprinkle with pepper.
Serve sliced apples on the side

My add ins
We add a bit more balsamic vinegar (you can test out your taste buds)
I used 2 packets of Stevia in the Raw for the sugar
We added 1/4 cup golden raisins
We topped with shredded Irish Cheddar Cheese
In the lunch box we kept the dressing separate for dressing at the lunch table
For the turkey we purchased 1/2 lb cooked Turkey - Jenny O brand
We made it another time and used cubed ham

I'd love to hear what you think!
