“Perfect to use up that holiday turkey!!! A healthy recipe from Chef MD (John La Puma, MD). Recipe published as Diabetic friendly in Walgreen’s Diabetes and You. States dietary exchanges are 1 starch, 2 vegetables, 2 lean meat and 2 fats. NOTE: I made this salad today and I recommend putting Greek or Italian seasoning on the tomatoes before cooking (delish) and the basil on top really makes the difference in this dish (otherwise it’s just a salad).”
