Turn yesterday’s turkey into today’s star-studded feast with this quick and easy recipe for ‘The Best Leftover Turkey Salad’ loaded with fresh veggies and herbs.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups chopped leftover turkey
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 cup finely diced celery
- 1/4 cup sliced scallions
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
METHOD:
In a large bowl, combine the chopped turkey, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, sugar, celery, scallions and dill, stirring until well combined.
Taste and season the turkey salad with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
I prefer less mayo in my turkey salad, but you can easily add more based on your taste preferences. For an extra-creamy turkey salad, increase the mayo to 2/3 cup.
I always think turkey salad tastes best after refrigerating, so this leftovers-inspired recipe tastes just as great on day 2 and onward!
Voilà
