Gobble Gobble! Turkey day is right around the corner and I am already getting excited. This isn’t really a Thanksgiving recipe but more of a pre turkey day party recipe or of course a great one for leftovers. If you don’t have turkey on hand it also works well as a chicken salad for any other time of the year.
The real
reason this turkey salad is so amazing is that it uses a mixture of mayo and
liquid (water, chicken stock, apple juice) as the dressing. This may sound
strange but it thins out the mayo allowing it to bind the ingredients without
overpowering them which is the total hotness!
1 lb cooked
turkey meat
1 tart apple
(I used a pink lady)
2 celery
stalks (diced
½ C raisins
½ C walnuts
(optional)
Dressing:
½ C mayo
4-8 tbs
liquid of choice (water, chicken stock or apple cider- I used a mix of stock
and apple cider)
Salt and
pepper
Mix the
dressing together in the bottom of a large mixing bowl. Add the other ingredients
and mix until everything is incorporated. Serve or refrigerate immediately. The
salad will last up to five days in an air tight container in the fridge which
makes it perfect for lunch all week.
