Tasty Tuesday Turkey Salad!

This is Donna's take on turkey salad, and it looks mighty tasty!
I'm guest blogging today on The Book Faery, talking about balancing home, career, writing, etc. Come on over if you can!



DONNA's Turkey Salad

"This recipe can be made with leftover turkey, or a turkey breast. The cook time will not include the baking of the turkey, just making the salad. Keeping the salad somewhat chunky is part of what makes it good. No food processors, please. I serve this on a bed of red leaf lettuce and garnish with red and green seedless grapes and candied pecan halves. Cubed jellied cranberry sauce is very good with it, so I place that on the plate around the salad. Serve with assorted crackers or breads."

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups cooked turkey meat
  • 6 eggs cooked
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar sweet pickles, chopped
  • 1 1/2 (10 ounce) jars mustard-mayonnaise blend (Dijon)
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise

Directions

  1. Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop.
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the eggs, turkey, pickles, prepared mustard/mayonnaise sandwich and salad sauce (Or Dijon) and plain mayonnaise. Chill in the refrigerator approximately 3 hours before serving.
