cooked turkey breast drives this basket at $12.50, 35% of the total. The next biggest lines are salad greens ($5.00) and canned mandarin orange sections ($4.99). $21.03 of the basket - 59% - is package remainder: food you buy because stores sell packages and recipes call for amounts. It does not vanish, it sits in your kitchen for the next meal.

Fresh orange juice and Dijon mustard give this vinaigrette a bright and zesty flavor to top this turkey and orange salad.
