Ingredients
- 2 cups (250g) cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 1 cup (100g) finely diced celery, essential for the crunch
- 0.5 cup (120g) mayonnaise (for lighter/high-protein, use Greek yogurt; for dairy-free, choose a suitable mayo)
- 0.25 cup (30g) finely diced red onion (optional)
- 1 tablespoon (15g) Dijon mustard
- To taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Turkey: Shred or dice 2 cups (250g) cooked turkey. It should feel light and moist.
- Dice Vegetables: Finely dice 1 cup (100g) celery and 0.25 cup (30g) red onion (optional). Aim for crisp, uniform pieces.
- Combine Mix: In a 9-inch mixing bowl, combine turkey, celery, red onion, 0.5 cup mayo, 1 Tbsp Dijon, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy. If dry, add 1-2 Tbsp more mayo.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste a spoonful. Adjust seasonings until flavor pops. A squeeze of lemon brightens it.
- Serve Immediately: Spoon your delicious Turkey Salad Recipe Celery Crunch Sandwich onto your bread, crackers, or lettuce cups. It should look moist and inviting. Serve immediately.
Notes
For speed, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. Add a pinch of smoked paprika or curry powder for a unique flavor. Ensuring celery is finely diced maximizes crunch. For a lighter/high-protein option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayo; for dairy-free, choose suitable mayo. Serve in crisp lettuce wraps for a low-carb meal.
