Turkey is great, but if you have a bit too much
left over from when it was originally served, here
is the perfect way to "change"
the look and taste of it.
the look and taste of it.
Rather than eat this as a salad on a bed of lettuce, I
brought back a good memory-- How? At noon, I piled this
goodness between two slices of bread. (A croissant would have
been even better-- that would have been more similar to a
chicken/grape salad sandwich* I bought at some of the
Arby's restaurants in years gone by.)
Ingredients: This makes about 5 servings of 1 cup each.
- 4 cups cubed/cooked turkey breast. (I used a mixture of light and dark meat.)
- 1/2 pound green grapes, halved.
- 1 and 1/3 cups finely diced celery.
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped and toasted pecans (I didn't toast mine.)
- 1 green onion, finely sliced (about 1/8 cup of finely diced onions would work, too).
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise.
- 1/3 cup of chicken broth (I did not use this, because I didn't want to open a larger container.)
- 1/8 cup of vinaigrette. (If you don't have this on hand, google for a "substitute.)
- 1 scant teaspoon prepared yellow mustard.
- Salt, to taste
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine the turkey, grapes, celery, pecans and onions.
- In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, broth, vinaigrette and mustard until smooth.\Pour over turkey mixture and mix well.
- Cover and chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Refrigerate leftovers.
