Take your traditional turkey salad to extraordinary heights. This sweet-and-spicy salad is quick, tasty, and light (but you'd never know it).

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

1 cup thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms (about 2 ounces)

3/4 cup chopped onion

2 cups shredded cooked skinless dark-meat turkey (about 8 ounces)

1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth

1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon hot chili sauce with garlic

1 teaspoon dark sesame oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

4 ounces uncooked rice vermicelli

4 cups torn butter lettuce

2 cups thinly sliced red bell pepper

1 cup chopped green onions

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 cup chopped fresh mint

fresh mint sprigs (optional)

Directions:

1. To prepare turkey, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and chopped onion to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add turkey and next 5 ingredients (through salt) to pan; cook 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
2. To prepare dressing, combine 2 tablespoons vinegar and next 6 ingredients (through garlic) in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
3. To prepare salad, cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain. Combine lettuce and remaining ingredients except mint sprigs. Place about 2 cups lettuce mixture into each of 4 bowls. Top each with 1 cup noodles and 1 1/2 cups turkey mixture; drizzle each with 1 1/2 tablespoons dressing. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
