lesli's turkey salad

Lesli made up this recipe and we had it for dinner when she visited with some hard cheese and baguette - it was quite the smorgasbord.
  • 1 lb cooked turkey breast, diced into tiny bite sizes (we used herb coated from Whole Foods)
  • 3 ribs celery, diced
  • 1 medium shallot, finely diced
  • 2 golden delicious apples, diced
  • 1 lemon (just the juice)
  • 1/4 c chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 c chopped crasins
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or you can use tarragon)
  • 4 tablespoons mayo (start with 2 and add mayo until it is the consistency you enjoy)
  • (your choice) sandwich bread or crackers or bibb lettuce leaves or mixed greens.
  1. Chop everything into very small pieces and add to large bowl. Squeeze the lemon over everything once you add the apple.
  2. Mix in the mayo. This is like a chicken salad -- add the amount of mayo you like.
  3. Cover and set in the refrigerator at least one hour, but best is overnight.
  4. Enjoy on bread as sandwich, or with crackers, or in bibb lettuce leaves as a wrap or a top a bed of mixed green salad.
Serves 6.
