The Greatest Turkey Salad Recipe

November 22, 2022   5 Feedback

This turkey salad recipe is absolutely the entry degree of what you are able to do with all of that leftover turkey.

My first massive concept with the inevitable after Thanksgiving was a Leftover Turkey Chili Recipe. I like this one as a result of it’s a white chili and everyone seems to be shocked by how good this may be.

This turkey salad recipe is mostly a rooster salad recipe as a result of they’re so comparable.

I all the time use Dijon mustard in my rooster salad as a result of it imparts creaminess and a kick of taste to maintain it from being bland. The non-fat Greek yogurt is added to chop energy with out compromising creaminess.

I added celery for a crunch and pickles as a result of why not?

My daughter ate all of this salad after telling me that she hates turkey. I do suppose that including pickles (considered one of her favourite meals) was the ingredient that offered her on this salad.

You may add no matter you will have within the fridge to this salad and it’ll work – cranberry sauce or dried cranberries, raisins, almonds, contemporary parsley (or any herb), sliced grapes, apples….. It’s a palette so that you can a paint on.

For those who don’t wish to make chili or turkey salad with the leftover roasted turkey, you possibly can all the time freeze it for a later date. I slice off an enormous hunk and toss it right into a freezer bag for a simple meal in December when issues get tremendous loopy. Turkey freezes properly.

I make Immediate pot inventory with the turkey bones (and I often freeze the carcass) when I’ve time. It’s a luxurious to have selfmade inventory to make soup out of when January hits.

What do you place in your turkey salad recipe? How do you cope with the leftovers? Thanks for sharing!
