ReciMeals are designed to be complete meals that need only be accompanied by a beverage, and sometimes a side salad or slice of bread. A ReciMeal provides significant amounts of at least three of the five MyPyramid food groups: about 1/2 cup of fruits, 1/2 cup of vegetables, 1 ounce equivalent of grain foods, 2 ounces or the equivalent of lean meat or beans or 1 cup or the equivalent of milk per recipe serving. With the power of several canned ingredients, this hearty turkey salad takes little effort. Cooking the protein-rich turkey and garbanzos is already done for you since they are cooked in the can. Let everyone wrap their own sandwich with warm tortillas and chopped romaine lettuce. Enjoy!
