Turkey Salad

Turkey Salad


  • Author: OliviaBennett
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Description

Born in Grandma Betty’s kitchen and perfected through years of post-holiday fridge foraging, this salad turns humble leftovers into a zesty, colorful delight. It’s creamy, crunchy, tangy, and ready in minutes. A celebration of simplicity—and second helpings done right.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 celery stalks, diced

  • 2 green onions, sliced

  • ½ red bell pepper, finely chopped

  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp white sugar

  • ¼ tsp salt


Instructions

  1. Mix the salad: In a large bowl, combine turkey, celery, green onions, and bell pepper.

  2. Make dressing: Whisk mayo, mustard, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until smooth.

  3. Combine: Pour dressing over salad. Gently fold to coat everything evenly.

  4. Chill: Refrigerate 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Stir before serving.

  5. Taste & tweak: Add more mustard for zing or a drizzle of honey if too tangy.

Serving Ideas

Notes

  • If turkey’s dry, moisten with 1 tbsp warm broth first.

  • Keep extras crisp by adding nuts/fruits after chilling.
