Plating:
When plating the Turkey Apollo Protein Bomb, start with a vibrant bed of spinach on a minimalist white round plate. Position thinly-sliced turkey breast atop the spinach to form a slight mound. The Greek yogurt should be spooned on one side of the turkey mound, still visible to the eye but not taking center stage. Finish the plate with a sprinkle of crushed almonds over the turkey slices for texture and a visual lift. The dish should look appealing but not overly complex, highlighting the simplicity and freshness of the ingredients. The final touch could be an artful drizzle of olive oil and a small sprig of rosemary for a dash of color and understated elegance.
