Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups leftover turkey cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 1 cup grape halves
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1-2 teaspoons curry powder to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Start by cutting your leftover turkey into small, bite-sized cubes. This will help the flavors meld together beautifully in your salad.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed turkey, diced celery, chopped pecans, dried cranberries, and halved grapes. The combination of these ingredients will create a delightful texture.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), curry powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the curry powder based on your taste preference; this is where you can make it as mild or spicy as you like.
  4. Pour the dressing over the turkey mixture and gently fold it together until everything is well-coated. Be careful not to break the turkey pieces too much; you want to maintain some texture.
  5. For the best flavor, let your Curried Turkey Salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  6. Spread your curried turkey salad generously onto your favorite bread, wrap, or lettuce leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • For best taste, add dressing just before serving if made ahead of time.
  • Freezing is an option, but add grapes fresh when serving.
