Asian Turkey Salad (similar to East Café in Denver)

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
Chow Mein Noodles
1 head iceberg lettuce- rinsed, dried and chopped
½ lb of shaved turkey breast


Directions
1 Prepare the dressing 30 minutes ahead of time by combining the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salad oil, and rice vinegar in a salad dressing carafe.

2 In a large bowl combine the iceberg lettuce cooked and shaved trukey breast. Let chill about 10 minutes, and just before serving add the chow mein noodles. Serve in salad bowls and offer the dressing in a pour able container so your family can add as much dressing as they want. You can also pour the dressing over the top of the salad, toss, and serve immediately.
