CARIBBEAN TURKEY SALAD 
DRESSING:

1 (8 oz.) carton low fat lemon yogurt
1 tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

SALAD:

8 oz. cooked turkey breast, cut into strips (about 2 c.)
2 c. strawberries, halved
1 (15.25 oz.) can pineapple chunks, drained
1 papaya, peeled, seeded & cubed
1 banana, sliced
Lettuce leaves
1/4 c. toasted coconut

In small bowl combine all dressing ingredients; blend until smooth. In large bowl, combine turkey and fruit; toss gently. Spoon onto individual lettuce-lined plates or large lettuce lined platter. Spoon dressing over salad; sprinkle with toasted coconut. 6 (1 1/3 cup) servings.

One cup cubed cantaloupe can be substituted for the papaya.

To toast coconut, spread on cookie sheet; bake at 375 degrees for about 5 minutes or until light golden brown, stirring occasionally. Or, spread in thin layer in microwave-safe pie pan. Microwave on MEDIUM for 4 1/2 to 8 minutes or until light golden brown, tossing with fork after each minute. (Moist flaked coconut takes longer than drier shredded coconut.)

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
