While the eggs are cooking, cook the bacon for 6 to 10 minutes in a sauté pan (depending on your preference for doneness). Remove excess fat in pan and cook turkey in the same pan on high heat for 4 minutes (2 minutes each side, or until done). Set aside the bacon and turkey. Wash all of the vegetables and prepare as stated above. Place vegetables into a large serving bowl. Place cheddar on top of vegetables. Roughly chop bacon and cut turkey into strips. Place meat on top of salad.For the dressing, first mix oil and vinegar and then add ketchup and mayonnaise.

Divide salad equally onto four plates and garnish with egg wedges.
