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!

the infamous Grill Pan introduces our star player: Turkey Panini

Music: Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin (oh yeah... eat your heart out)

Drink: Water

Question: So what do you when you are having a particularly tiresome day, but still want to cook and eat something absolutely delicious?

Question: After making that fabulous aioli, how can I use it on more things, but keep it fresh and new?

Question: How do I do all this in one pan?

Answer: Panini.

After our longest but wonderful and victorious run yet, the last thing I wanted to do was get out lots of complicated instructions and.. well … try! What?! I was tired! (and sweaty!) So I literally took all five ingredients and the grill pan (my favorite kitchen utensil of the moment) and off we went!

And here is where I am going to put in a plug for the underrated Grill Pan. Honestly, I wasn’t so jazzed when we bought this.. thinking “who wants nasty soaked-in-its-own-grease table top burgers?” or “if I want to grill I’ll light the dang grill!” …oh no. I was mistaken

So versatile!

So simple to clean!

So fabulous!

I mean not only crispy paninis.. but perfect chicken... tender turkey burgers all worthy of great salivation. Hungry yet? Good! Go make a Panini on your new grill pan :P

Remember to always experiment! Try switching up the ingredients… Go wild! This makes ordinary sandwiches look… well…  ordinary!
