Here's the Dish
This apple pecan turkey salad recipe is packed with flavor, but not all of the unhealthy fat that is generally in chicken or turkey salad. This recipe is full of chopped apples and pecans, and the dressing is a creamy and made with Greek yogurt, which makes it healthy and packed with protein. I personally like this turkey salad by itself, or wrapped up in a pita or low carb wrap! This recipe is also a great way to use up your leftover Thanksgiving turkey or chicken in a quick and easy way!
Ingredients
| 1 cup | Cooked turkey, diced or shredded (or cooked chicken breast) 1 |
| 1/4 cup | Plain low fat Greek yogurt |
| 1/4 tsp | Lemon juice |
| 1 small | Apple, diced |
| 1 stalk | Celery, diced |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1/4 tsp | Pepper |
| 1 pkt | Stevia (optional) |
| 2 tbs | Chopped pecans (or nut of choice) |
| Optional: | 1/4 cup dried cranberries |
You can use leftovers from my crockpot turkey recipe, store bought turkey, or even rotisserie or crockpot chicken. This recipe is great for using up your Thanksgiving leftover turkey as well!
Method
The estimated total time to make this recipe is 5-10 minutes.
Add everything to a medium bowl, and mix well to combine. Enjoy immediately at room temperature, or serve chilled over a bed of lettuce, stuffed in a whole grain pita, or just as is with a side of whole grain pita chips or crackers!
