Martha's Corn and Turkey Salad (gone clean!)

Along with my new Clean Eating magazine, my 25 year old going on 45 year old ass, got the new Martha Stewart Living magazine. Yes. My mother got the subscription for me and I absolutely adore it! So many crafts – so many delicious recipes – so much inspiration! It’s my once a month, sit at the pool, guilty pleasure to sift through coral infused living rooms and 101 ways to use a flower pot… Yes. I am this lame. And proud of it ;)

More to the point, I found this delectibly simple recipe for Bone in Turkey Breast – and along with it a corresponding recipe for a Corn and Turkey Salad… Simply typing it makes me hunger for it! Cooking the turkey takes, maybe an hour total with cooking, resting and cutting… But the salad assembly in a synch! And who doesn’t love a simple, summer meal? Well I’ll tell you one thing, Martha Stewart and I are on the same page with this one!
