Turkey Salad Recipe

This dish was fantastic - the flavors combined beautifully. I roughly chopped the turkey to give it a chunkier texture and used it as a filling for sandwiches.

Delicious! I didn't have any red peppers, so I substituted a diced apple instead. I decided to chop the turkey and serve the chunky salad on iceberg lettuce leaves. Skipped using the blender or food processor altogether. The flavors worked wonderfully together, making it a fantastic way to use up the remaining Thanksgiving turkey!

I initially followed this recipe as written but found that the vinegar was not to my liking, hence the 4 stars. However, I have since made it multiple times with some modifications. I omit the vinegar and red pepper as I feel they are not necessary for flavor. Instead of sugar, I use 1/4 cup of Marzettis' slaw dressing in addition to the mayo. A tip my Mother-in-law shared with me 45 years ago is to heat the mixture, just enough to release the flavors, after mixing (I usually use the microwave). I have also applied this technique to chicken, ham, and potato salad, and it truly makes a difference in taste. Like with any recipe, each cook adjusts according to their preferences. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Amazing foundation recipe! I didn't have cider vinegar on hand, so I substituted it with rice vinegar. I opted for horseradish mustard and included 1 teaspoon of thyme for extra flavor. Since my kids aren't fans of celery and onions, I incorporated diced red grapes into their wraps. For myself, I enjoyed the dish with a sprinkling of Monterey Jack shredded cheese and a dollop of Ranch dressing, all mixed together in a bowl with a spoon.

This turkey salad is absolutely scrumptious! I omitted the red pepper and opted to roughly chop the meat instead of using a processor. Let's go PATS!! **UPDATE 12/1/19:** After discovering a similar recipe on a different website, I decided to make some tweaks. I had turkey thigh meat available, so I used that instead. Substituted lemon juice for vinegar and sprinkled in some dried dill. A touch more sugar elevated the flavor profile beautifully.

Followed the instructions by using the pulse action of a food processor. Initially, I ended up with a pink mixture that had a pasty consistency, suitable for crackers but tasted quite grainy. Sadly, this batch ended up in the garbage disposal. Started over and finely chopped the first 4 ingredients, resulting in a much better outcome. The only changes I made were adding liquid smoke as recommended by another reviewer and substituting a teaspoon of sugar with a teaspoon of an equal alternative. Will definitely make this recipe again, following my notes to chop ingredients by hand.

The Turkey salad had a fantastic mix of flavors. I decided to skip using a food processor or blender and hand-cut all the ingredients instead. This way, I could control the size and texture of each element and ensure no small turkey bones or grizzle got into the salad. I will definitely be making this again!

The recipe was fantastic! I didn't have red pepper on hand, but I adore green pepper so I used that instead. To add a festive touch, I threw in a handful of cranberries and sunflower seeds for an extra nutty crunch. It would have been even better with pecans, but unfortunately, a family member is allergic. Surprisingly, my 5-year-old really enjoyed it on wheat thin crackers.

I was looking for a recipe to use up my leftover Cajun Smoked turkey, and this one was just perfect! I made a few tweaks - I reduced the amount of green onions, celery, vinegar, and dijon mustard by half, and added some fresh parsley, an egg, extra pepper, and mayo. I served the delicious mixture on warm croissants with green leaf lettuce, accompanied by chips and a lovely side green salad, and voila... an amazing and tasty lunch, ideal for guests! This recipe has become one of my favorites now.

This recipe is absolutely delightful! I enhanced it with some sweet pickle relish, 2 chopped hard boiled eggs, and 1/2 tsp of salt. I opted to exclude the red pepper to ensure it didn't overpower the overall flavor, and the result was simply divine. I utilized around a pound of leftover chopped turkey breast, and the dish turned out to be incredibly tasty! This versatile dish can be enjoyed as a sandwich or served as an appetizer with crackers. I greatly appreciate this fantastic recipe and will certainly be making it whenever I have leftover turkey breast!

I adapted this recipe to make a larger batch using 3lbs of turkey, adjusting the ingredient quantities accordingly. I omitted the red peppers and sugar from the original recipe. Instead of just mixing the dried cranberries and walnuts, I pulsed them in a food processor and added spicy brown mustard to the Dijon and mayo mixture, along with 1 tsp of cayenne for an extra kick. I also added about 1/2 tsp of Liquid Smoke to the turkey meat. The result was fantastic!

Great appetizer that is quick to make and perfect for a crowd. I will definitely try it with chicken next time!

Fantastic and simple to prepare! I didn't have red peppers on hand but followed the recipe as it is. I opted to chop the turkey instead of using a food processor. The dish turned out flavorful. I will definitely be making it again.

The dish was delicious, but I thought it was a bit too watery. It's best to chop it into small pieces instead of blending it for a dip. Reading the comments is definitely helpful if you're planning to use it for a sandwich.

I didn't make any adjustments to the recipe, but I felt it was a bit bland. I plan to enhance it next time by adding some dill. It's a fantastic way to repurpose leftover turkey.

I prepared it today for tomorrow, serving it with crackers and salad. I also plan to enjoy it as a sandwich with bread. The taste is complex, but the recipe itself is very easy. I have a special fondness for authentic turkey.

Absolutely adore this recipe when wrapped in lettuce. So delicious!

I absolutely adore this! Just a heads up, I always sauté the onions, bell peppers, and other ingredients before adding them to my salad.

I followed this recipe as a base because my leftover turkey was a bit tough and chewy. Accidentally forgot to add the onion, so I substituted with onion powder. This recipe is versatile and will turn out great with any protein choice. I think it would work well with leftover ham too.
