TIPS FOR THE BEST SALAD
Dark or white meat turkeys work great to make this dish. It is also possible to make a blend of both.
This salad can be served with crackers. Pour it into lettuce leaves for low-carb options, or pile it onto the bread, croissant, or toast with tomato slices and lettuce for a sandwich.
I prefer cutting the turkey into cubes of 1/4 inches. I feel it will hold together better this way. However, you can slice your meat as thin or coarse as you want.
Want to cut down on calories? It’s okay to use light mayonnaise instead of the full-fat version.
I cook this meal daily, not only using leftover turkey! If I do not have leftovers, I buy turkey breasts at the supermarket and cook them to serve in a salad.
HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP the TURKEY SALAD?
The salad can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the salad in an airtight container to get the best outcomes. Turkey salad should not be kept at room temperature for over two hours.
Is it possible to freeze a turkey salad?
I don’t recommend freezing this salad because it’s likely to be wet when it is it is defrosted. The leftover turkey can be frozen to defrost later when making this dish, but do not freeze the salad you’ve prepared.
