    1 Season turkey steaks with salt and pepper. Heat a chargrill pan over a high heat. Spray turkey with olive oil. Cook the turkey steaks for 2–3 minutes each side, or until just cooked through. Remove and transfer to a plate. Cover with foil and leave to rest.

    2 Combine lentils, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and the rind, mustard and celery in a bowl. Season and mix well.

    3 Slice turkey. Add capsicum and spinach to lentils. Toss to combine. Divide lettuce between serving plates. Top with lentil salad, and turkey and feta, if preferred.

    Variations

    Swap out turkey for chicken, or you can use leftover cooked turkey shredded.  If you do, simply skip to Step 2.
