FESTIVE FALL TURKEY SALAD



Festive Fall Turkey Salad image

I created this recipe to use leftover holiday turkey. It's a classic bound salad using mayonnaise and celery, but it also includes fresh cranberries, orange juice and cashews. Although new to our menu, it has become a holiday favorite. My family requests I make my own turkey before Thanksgiving so I can serve this salad as an appetizer at our holiday feast. I hope you will find it as enjoyable as we do. Enjoy it on rolls, in wraps, or as a spread with crackers.

Categories     Salad

Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole cranberries
½ cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 tablespoons white sugar
¾ cup cashew halves
6 cups chopped cooked turkey
2 celery ribs, diced
¾ cup mayonnaise, or to taste
2 tablespoons applesauce
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground dried sage
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
  • Place the cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, and sugar into a pan. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost all the liquid has cooked away, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and cool.
  • Place cashews on prepared baking pan. Roast in preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove, and cool.
  • Mix the turkey together in a large bowl with the celery, mayonnaise, applesauce, salt, sage, thyme, and pepper until evenly blended. Fold in the cranberry mixture. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, crisp celery, tender-crisp water chestnuts, and crunchy cashews are all essential.
  • Don't overcook the turkey. It should be cooked just until it is no longer pink in the center.
  • Shred the turkey into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will help the flavors to blend together.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise. You don't want the salad to be too heavy.
  • Add the celery, water chestnuts, cashews, and grapes to the salad just before serving. This will help to keep them crisp and fresh.
  • Serve the salad immediately. It is best when it is fresh.

Conclusion:

Turkey Cashew Salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and refreshing, yet still satisfying. The combination of turkey, celery, water chestnuts, cashews, and grapes is a classic, and the creamy mayonnaise dressing brings it all together. Whether you are serving it as a main course or a side dish, Turkey Cashew Salad is sure to be a hit.
