If you are looking for delicious ways to use up your leftover Thanksgiving turkey, this turkey salad sandwich is a tasty option! Easy and quick to make, it's fresh, creamy and loaded with flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, add all turkey salad ingredients (the shredded/chopped turkey, celery, green onions, dried cranberries, pecans, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and dill).
Stir everything gently to coat evenly.
Refrigerate 30 minutes before serving.
Serve on a sandwich, bun, croissant, lettuce wrap, or as a full meal over salad greens.
NOTES
Use cold shredded turkey for this recipe.
Let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes in the fridge before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop.
Keep the salad covered in the fridge to stop the turkey from drying out.
You can substitute dried cranberries with raisins or grapes
