(from greenfood’s recipe box)
Great use of leftover turkey. Serve it over Boston Lettuce leaves instead of bread
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 0 minutes
Serves 5 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded leftover turkey meat
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- 1/2 cup celery leaves, coarsely chopped, plus more whole leaves for garnish
- 1 crisp apple, such as Gala or Macintosh, cored and chopped
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- 1/2 cup pecans, toasted, and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup full-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
- 1 small celery root, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
-
In a large bowl, gently toss the turkey, celery, celery leaves, apple, grapes, and pecans until combined. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
- Put the celery root in a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of the dressing, and toss to coat completely. Add the remaining dressing to the turkey mixture, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to evenly dress the salad.
-
To serve, spread the celery root evenly onto a serving platter, top with the dressed salad, garnish with celery leaves and serve immediately.
