Chef notes

This is the best post-Thanksgiving lunch! It's a great way to use up leftover turkey, and it makes for a nice, light meal after a day of feasting. Serve it over your favorite bread or as a salad and scoop it up with crackers.

Technique tip: To perfectly shred the turkey, use a stand mixer or just cut into smaller pieces with a knife.

Swap option: Rotisserie chicken or any cooked chicken.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded (breast or thigh both work)
  • 1 rib celery, thinly sliced
  • 1 small Granny Smith apple, chopped
  • 3/4 cup chopped red grapes
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • salad greens or bread, to serve

Preparation

1.

In a large bowl, gently toss the turkey, celery, apple, grapes and pecans until combined.

2.

In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper.

3.

Add desired amount of dressing to a large bowl and toss gently to evenly dress the salad.

4.

To serve, enjoy over a bed of greens as a salad or with your favorite bread.
