Turkey Salad
This is yet another recipe that let's you utilize that left over turkey without out a lot of hassle or fuss and as I mentioned yesterday that's a good thing after working so hard on the big Thanksgiving meal!
Much like Chicken Salad, Turkey Salad makes a great sandwich or is even good served in a wedged tomato or on a bed of lettuce. It's a simple and delicious twist on a classic...Try it and see.
What You'll Need:
4 cups of cooked turkey, chopped (Note: Light or dark meat works fine or a mixture of both. It's a matter of personal taste.)
3 ribs of celery, chopped fine
1 small red onion, chopped fine
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3-4 tablespoons of light mayo (Note: You don't need a lot of mayo to get the job done. It shouldn't be heavy, but a light coating instead. Many time people over do it and you end up with a heavy, gloppy mixture, which isn't a good thing.)
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes: This could easily be made with chicken instead of turkey and it similar to Whole Foods Chicken Salad, minus the tarragon (which in all honesty I'm not a big fan of, though I will eat it from time to time), walnuts and chicken of course! ;o)
