Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Place the turkey breast in a baking pan and lightly salt and pepper it to taste.
Place the turkey in the oven and bake for 1-2 hours (depending on the size) or until the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F. The time will vary depending on how much the turkey breast weighs.
Remove and allow the turkey breast to cool while you prepare the salad.
In a salad bowl, pour in the 5 oz. arugula.
Slice the apples into thin or bite-sized pieces and lay over the lettuce.
Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans, and if the turkey is cooled off, chop it into bite-sized strips and add it as well.
Cut the burrata cheese open so that it will easily break apart and place in the middle of the salad. Prepare your dressing.
Dressing
In a blender, add 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp dijon mustard, one lemon juiced, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth.
Drizzle the dressing over the top of the salad and serve.
