Turkey salad with papaya, kiwifruit, and almonds is served in spinach-lined tortilla bowls. This is a great use for leftover turkey or you may substitute cooked chicken. The salad needs to chill for 2 hours, so plan ahead.

Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2-1/2 cups shredded cooked turkey
- 1 cup Creamy Curried Dressing
- 4 flour tortillas (6-inch)

- Fresh spinach leaves, stemmed, washed and dried
Preparation:
Prepare Creamy Curried Dressing.
Mix together turkey and salad dressing in a large bowl. Refrigerate 2 hours.
