Ingredients:

A 3.5-4 lb turkey breast, thawed if frozen

1 onion, halved and stuck with a clove

1 carrot, sliced

1 stalk of celery, sliced

1 C Mayonnaise

2 t curry powder

¾ C drained and chopped mango chutney

For the condiments

½ pound toasted cashews

¼ pound raisins

½ C minced red and green sweet bell pepper

Directions

In a kettle bring to a boil enough water to cover the turkey breast with the onion, carrot, celery stalk, and the herbs in a cheesecloth bag. Add the turkey breast and boil it for 1 minute. Reduce heat and poach turkey, partially covered, at a bare simmer, skimming off the froth that rises to the surface, for 40 minutes, or until tender. Let turkey cool completely in the liquid, discard the skin and bones, and cut turkey into ½-inch cubes.

In a small bowl combine well the mayonnaise, curry powder, and chutney.

In a large bowl combine turkey, the 1.5 C celery, curry mayonnaise, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve curried turkey salad in the cantaloupe halves with the condiments in separate bowls.
