Meal Prep Turkey Cobb Salad
Cubed deli turkey takes the place of chicken while Cheddar replaces blue cheese in this easy Cobb-inspired salad. The protein-rich turkey and cheese—plus eggs and bacon—give the salad staying power, so you won't get hungry an hour after you eat. Feel free to swap out the turkey for cooked chicken or chickpeas to mix things up. Serve the salad right away or pack it up in individual containers and you'll be set for lunch for days.
