This turkey salad recipe is actually the entry degree of what you are able to do with all of that leftover turkey.
My first massive thought 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 stunned by how good this may be.
This turkey salad recipe is mostly a hen salad recipe as a result of they're so related.
I at all times use Dijon mustard in my hen 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 assume that including pickles (certainly one of her favourite meals) was the ingredient that bought her on this salad.
You can add no matter you've 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 is a palette so that you can a paint on.
If you don’t need to make chili or turkey salad with the leftover roasted turkey, you'll be able to at all times freeze it for a later date. I slice off an enormous hunk and toss it right into a freezer bag for a straightforward meal in December when issues get tremendous loopy. Turkey freezes nicely.
I make Instant pot inventory with the turkey bones (and I normally freeze the carcass) when I've time. It is a luxurious to have home made 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!
