ingredients

680.38 g small sweet potatoes
473.18 ml cubed smoked turkey (1/4 inch dice)
236.59 ml diced celery
177.44 ml coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
59.14 ml finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Dressing
118.29 ml canola oil
29.58 ml red wine vinegar
44.37 ml fresh orange juice
44.37 ml finely grated orange zest
9.85 ml minced fresh ginger
2.46 ml curry powder
2.46 ml salt

directions

Preheat oven to 400°; scrub the potatoes but do not peel; prick in several places with the tines of a fork.
Bake just until tender when pierced with a fork (30 minutes, about); let cool completely, then peel them and cut into ½-inch cubes; place cubes in a large bowl.
Dressing: combine all the dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor; process for 30 seconds (you should have about 1 cup of dressing).
Add the turkey, celery, and from ¾ to 1 cup of the dressing to the cubed sweet potatoes; toss gently.
Cover and chill until cold, up to 1 day.
Just before serving, add in the pecans and parsley; toss well; serve cold.
