Turn yesterday’s turkey into today’s star-studded feast with this quick and easy recipe for The Best Leftover Turkey Salad loaded with fresh veggies and herbs.
If you’re reading this post, chances are you’re staring down a mountain of leftover turkey (or perhaps even chicken!). And whether it’s the result of your Thanksgiving feast, or just the remnants from an ordinary dinner, the bottom line here is you’ve got leftover turkey and you need to put that poultry to work.
Have I ever got you covered! Grab your knife and get ready for The Best Leftover Turkey Salad to ever cross your lips.
When I was a culinary intern at Food Network, it was my job to prepare the staff meal each day, and one of my favorite ways to make the most of all of the insanely delicious leftover odds and ends from Food Network Kitchens was to make any variety of chicken or turkey salad. So let’s just say that over the course of several months, I got my turkey salad recipe nailed down.
What separates this from all other leftover turkey salad recipes? Two simple tricks and tips:
- The Mayo to Mustard Ratio: I’m a mayo enthusiast, but when it comes to chicken or turkey salad, I like to go light. Too much mayo can yield a very thick and heavy salad, while just the right balance of mayo and Dijon mustard produces a medley of flavors that don’t overpower the refreshing crispness of the veggies and herbs.
- My Not-So-Secret Ingredient: Are you ready for this one? We all know I’m a big fan of secret ingredients in my chocolate chip cookies, smoothies and mashed potatoes, and this time, I’m upping the flavor profile with … sugar! It sounds strange in a savory turkey salad, but one taste and I guarantee you’ll never go without it.
So grab that surplus poultry and get your preferred carb (or crisp lettuce leaf) of choice ready for The Best Leftover Turkey Salad piled high with lettuce and tomato to complete your Turkey-on-Day-2 feast. (And don’t forget to check out the endless other ways of putting those leftover mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce and pie dough scraps to work!)

Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped leftover turkey
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (See Kelly's Notes)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 cup finely diced celery
- 1/4 cup sliced scallions
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped turkey, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, sugar, celery, scallions and dill, stirring until well combined.
- Taste and season the turkey salad with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
Kelly's Notes:
- I prefer less mayo in my turkey salad, but you can easily add more based on your taste preferences. For an extra-creamy turkey salad, increase the mayo to 2/3 cup.
- I always think turkey salad tastes best after refrigerating, so this leftovers-inspired recipe tastes just as great on day 2 and onward!

Kelly,
This recipe is simply amazing! I have made it with the original recipe and also the creamier version.
Both was equally as good. Thank you so much for my go-to turkey salad recipe.
If you are a person that is looking over these reviews and questioning whether or not it’s as good as everybody says it is. Well I challenge you to give this a try. You will not be disappointed.
This makes me so happy to read, David! Thank you!
Added extra celery, whole grain old style mustard instead instead of Dijon Mustard, salt and pepper to taste, decrease mayo, increased lemon juice to taste, and 1 teaspoon dried dill instead of fresh.
Thanks for your note!
Best turkey salad I’ve ever had! Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Robin!
Instead of adding sugar add sweet relish. Delicious
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe, Maxine!
Best turkey salad recipe I’ve made by far! I was looking for an easy and creative way to use up the Thanksgiving leftovers and my kids ate it all in one day! (They usually hate turkey leftovers!) We are making it again today but with chicken!
I’m so thrilled to hear that you and your kids enjoy the recipe, Savannah!
So far, so good. Sampled it, and was delish. Refrigerating now for lunch tomorrow: stuffed beefsteak tomato with chopped avocado. Hope there’s some extra dressing to toss the avocado in. Always glad to find recipes which include in-house ingredients. I was tempted to add a little dill relish or capers, but wanted to rate this recipe as advertised. A winner in my cookbook
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, John!
This is a very good recipe – I added some tweaks to suit our tastes. Left out the sugar and added pecans and a diced granny smith apple. Soooo good!
I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Melissa! With Pecans and diced apples sounds great!
Very good! Used up all of the dark meat that nobody will eat. Now they love it.
I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoy the recipe, Penny!
Excellent tasting turkey salad. Never would have considered adding Dijon, lemon juice, or dill. Maybe that’s why my turkey salad was so dull that I was being shunned by family and friends. But now my tail is wagging, my nose is cold, and my tummy loves me again!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed the recipe!
Extra may and threw in some of my leftover stuffing !!! Delicious
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Cheryl!
Made the turkey salad. It was delicious.
I’m so glad that you enjoyed the recipe, Vina!
I have never made “delicious “ turkey OR chicken salad before…. Good but never anything to brag about . From me to you, THANK YOU! This
Is DELICIOUS!!! It’s in the fridge chilling and cannot wait for dinner!
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoy the recipe, Kathy!
Nice even flavor , if you are a texture eater I find chopping it medium over chunky perfect for spreading on sandwiches. Todd
I’m glad to hear that you enjoy the recipe, Todd!
Thank U it was VERRRRRRRY delicious
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe!
easy and good
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe, Ivan!
I love chicken salad but this is the first time trying it with turkey. This recipe is amazing! I definitely be making this again and again. My go to from now on with turkey and chicken!
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoy the recipe, Tiffany!!
The salad was great I served it in a keto wrap with a smear of cranberry sauce; that put it over the top!!
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe!
Excellent! Served it with a layer of Spicy Hot Cranberry Spread on my bread.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Deb!
This is probably the best Turkey Salad I’ve ever made. It’s chilling in the fridge now, we’ll enjoy it with crackers later as part of our Football Saturday spread. I didn’t have Dijon mustard and I opted to omit the sugar, but it’s delicious just the way I made it.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sharon!
Absolutely LOVE this recipe for turkey but also for chicken. I poach a whole chicken. My one question is do you mean 2 teaspoons of sugar, I assumed you meant salt as there was none in the recipe. I used kosher salt…? is it sugar?
Everyone LOVES this salad.
Thanks and CHEERS,
Carey
Hi Carey – It’s sugar :) That’s the secret ingredient.
This is a great recipe, easy and tasty. I use turkey drumsticks or dark quarters which I pressure cook in turkey broth that I keep in the freezer, defrost over a low flame, and reuse each time. I skim the broth before refreezing to remove all the fat. Great for hot summer days with tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes and crispy breadsticks. We like more dill in ours, just such a yummy combo. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
You are so welcome, Gail! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Kelly, you saved a good amount of hickory smoked turkey. Why my husband and I thought it’d be an interesting change for our Thanksgiving, I don’t know. Super tender and moist but the smoked flavor was way too strong, even with gravy. Leftovers? What to do with a lot of perfectly good turkey? This recipe worked out fantastic! It countered the overly strong smoked flavor to where we could enjoy a delicious sandwich! I only tweaked a little more, or less, of your listed ingredients until we said, “yummm!” Thank you!!!
Love reading this so much, Donna! Thank you!
All family loved this recipe. Just added a green apple, and it was just perfect! Thank you!
You are so welcome, Juliya! I’m thrilled your family enjoyed the turkey salad!
Found a frozen turkey breast in my freezer. June is an awesome time to bake a turkey, lol. And the best part, leftovers to make turkey salad. Made exactly as written. It’s delicious, especially on toasted (air-fryed) croissants and piece of lettuce. Ty
Yessss! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Alexa!
Tastes so good! Added pineapple to make it even better!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
This was a great recipe. I used it as a guideline and made the following variations: (1) added a peeled/chopped Granny Smith apple (tossed pieces in lemon juice to prevent browning); (2) added a large handful of chopped walnuts, (3) added about 1/2 cup of Craisins, (4) added about 2 tsp of celery seed to the dressing, and (5) omitted the dill (not a fan). I already made it twice. It’s great on a bed of lettuce or in a sandwich (I like ciabatta or toasted sourdough). Delish!
YUM! Love your additions, Lynn! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe :)
Excellent!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Laura!
Easy to make and so delicious
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Darrin!
Unbelievably good! Thank you so much for this recipe. I put the turkey in my food processor which yielded a restaurant-worthy result!
You are so welcome, Zoe! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I made the turkey salad, but didn’t have some of the stuff. It turned out good
I’m glad you enjoyed it anyway, Renita!
Great recipe! I love the proportions of the ingredients – perfect amounts of tang, creaminess, and crunch. I was out of lemons and dill, so I used some pickle juice from the dill pickle jar, I think it worked in a pinch. It’s delicious! Thank you for this recipe.
You are so welcome, Rochelle! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I used this recipe for the first time last month and my family and I truly enjoyed!!! I used apples instead of sugar. Thank you so much for sharing!
Sincerely,
Cindy
You are so welcome, Cindy! I’m thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe!
Perfect hit! Was alittle worried, not a fan of Dijon mustard, but followed the recipe and it was soo good. Thanks!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jerbear!
I add apples instead of sugar… red onions and did half miracle whip and half hellmans mayo…
I used this recipe after Thanksgiving this year…was soo good…i bought a boars has turkey breast and remade it… after adding the apples… can’t be without
I add apples instead of sugar… red onions and did half miracle whip and half hellmans mayo…
YUM! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Minny!
Glad I came across your Recipes….Looking forward to ordering your cook book !!
Thanks so much for your support, Gerald! Welcome to Just a Taste!
Have made this recipe several times, equally great with either turkey or chicken. I follow the recipe exactly as written (except sometimes I use chicken), It is absolutely the best!!
Yessss! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Maureen!
Beautiful
Thank you for a great recipe and instructions. I had not thought to use dill before so this was a welcome variation! Delicious. I might add some whole cranberries next time…
You are so welcome, Elissa! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I made a grilled cheese sandwich with this recipe. Might be the best sandwich I ever ate!
OH.EM.GEE. That sounds amazing, Linda! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
This recipe is so good! I just made a second batch because my family loved it! I usually go overboard on the Mayo but now I know I prefer a lighter salad. Thank you!
You are so welcome, Kandice! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I made this recipe last year and came searching for it again this year. In fact, I was requested to cook a larger turkey so we would have more leftovers for this recipe this year. :)
Love, love, LOVE reading this, Amber! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe :)
Wonderful, wonderful.
I made this yesterday with leftover turkey and it was fantastic! If you love chicken salad, you will love this..:) I made it for a church meeting and put it on croissants and it was wonderful..:)
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kristy!
Delicious and so flavorful! Will definitely save this recipe to make again!
So glad you enjoyed it, Terri!
Just made it for the first time. Everyone loved it!

Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Asher!
Thanks for a tasty , easy recipe!
You are so welcome, Elizabeth! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
We really liked this! I’d read through the comments and did add a little more mayo & mustard. Hubby likes a wetter salad. I say it’s good either way.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Ronda!
Made this today and love it! The flavors are perfect and I will make this again.
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Gilbert!
Our whole family loves this!
Love reading this, Lenise!
The title was right. This is the best leftover turkey salad recipe. I adjusted some of the ingredient amounts but not by much and I added a healthy dash of cayenne. And we loved it!
Woohoo! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Susan!
This recipe is so good. Thanks for the recipe.
You are so welcome, Ashe! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
This is awesome! I added chopped red pepper and a little more mayo and dijon. My husband is so happy! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
You are so welcome, Barb! I’m thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the recipe!
Super easy, fast and delicious. I cooked three turkey legs on the grill and carefully removed all of the tendons and cartilage. I added some dill relish (around 2 full table spoons) to mine to make up for the fresh dill. It came out great. A really inexpensive and healthy dish. Thanks!
You are so welcome, Don! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Wow! I never knew there was such a thing? Leftover turkey breast. It is so delicious! I’ll keep making it. I used light mayo and it is still delicious. Thanks so much!
Brenda
You are so welcome, Brenda! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I make this often! We love it. I even buy turkey breasts just to make this salad. It’s that good!
Yessss! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Karen!
Really good! Going to use this dressing for my next chicken salad!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Joyce!
Nice, fresh, and tasty!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Loretta!
I’m getting ready to prepare this but I’m adding 4 hard boiled eggs. I’ll update my review later.
I hope you enjoy the recipe, Donna!
Well, I had more turkey than I thought. I didn’t have enough mayo to make it creamy enough, so I used some ranch dressing and
It came out very nice
YUM! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Charlene!
Great combination. I did add a bit more mayo.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I had leftover turkey in the freezer from one I cooked In January. I just made this and it’s the best turkey salad I have ever tasted. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you so much for sharing.
Jane
So thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jane!
This is probably the first recipe that I’ve ever rated. Sad because I’ve found some good ones along the way. This turkey salad is legit! I’m doing a low carb thing so I just skipped the sugar part. The fresh dill is a must. Seriously tempted to roast another turkey and make this turkey salad out of the whole thing. Thanks so much for sharing!
You are so welcome, Steven! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I had turkey left in the freezer and used it for this recipe. My family of three adults loved it! They want more of the same with chicken until November comes around again. This is a real winner and is in my meal rotation schedule. Wonderfully delicious! Thank you for this recipe!!!
You are so welcome, Harleen! I’m thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe!
Very good the whole family loved it will keep this recipe for sure..YUM!
I’m so happy to read this, Denise!
I tried this and it was wonderful. Definitely a recipe to add to those to make again. Thanks so much for sharing.
You are so welcome, David! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Best EVER!!! Tried many and oh my the flavors are kicking! Right amount of Mayo and mustard. Spouse totally loves it too. I doubled the batch and missed with white and dark meat. Terrific way to handle leftovers. Substituted small regular onion for scallions. Still divine! Thank you for sharing. Sharing with all family/friends on FB too.
Woohoo! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Marion!
Great recipe and easy to fix I added a little garlic to supplement the flavors. Thanks!
You are so welcome, John! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Hi Kelly. We tried this great recipe the other day. We had enough turkey left over for 2 cups of chopped turkey, so we halved the ingredient quantities. We didn’t have Dijon mustard so we used Colman’s dry mustard. We didn’t have dill so we used tarragon. Also, we used extra mayonnaise and celery. We also added 1 tbs. of diced pimiento and 3 black olives, sliced and then the the slices quartered. It is best to keep stirring to get the best consistency. For seasonings we used Kosher salt, lemon pepper, and sweet paprika. Thanks for this great recipe Kelly and the best of wishes from our kitchen to yours.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the turkey salad, Sharon!
Great! I will be using this recipe going forward.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Danette!
Good turkey salad recipe. Great way to use up leftover turkey.
Delicious turkey salad. I added a little more mayonnaise to it. Instead of dill relish i used sweet relish.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jacqueline!
I added apples too my turkey salad instead of the sugar (I had apples I wanted to use)
Next time will definently use the sugar.
Thanks for your note, Margarita!
Saving this to my go to stash. Excellent recipe
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Adrienne!
Lovely turkey salad recipe! Measurements are on point; perfect, balanced ratios. Kids and I really enjoyed it today for lunch on sourdough toast with lettuce. Very refreshing and a great way to use up the last of the Thanksgiving turkey. I added a handful of craisins, some toasted pecans, and a teaspoon of fresh rosemary. Otherwise, made it exactly as written and it was so good. I imagine this would be good with chicken, as well. Going to have it on crostini this evening. Printed out a copy to keep in my recipe binder. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe!
Love reading this, Jenifer! I’m thrilled your family enjoyed the recipe!
First time I ever made turkey salad
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Richard!
Made this the day after Thanksgiving…absolutely delicious! Will definitely make again!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Michelle!
This is a keeper. I increased the mayo and mustard (proportionately) to make it a little more creamy, but all the flavors still stood out. Delicious and the sugar really help round things out (wouldn’t have thought to put that in). I’ll have to try it with chicken for the rest of the year when I don’t have turkey around.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Dan! And yes, this is delicious with chicken, too!
Love, love, love!!! Made it with chicken and had to use dry dill as we can’t seem to get fresh here in Hawaii! Still delicious! This is a keeper!
So glad you enjoyed it, Cindy!
Made it exactly as is, adding a few grape tomatoes. It was delicious.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Lisa!
Excellent flavor, easy to make. I, too followed the recipe exactly, with the exception that I added a few grapes (not grape tomatoes). They gave it a little extra zing that we enjoy. We supplemented our meal with some dried cranberries.
I would imagine that other additionsfound in turkey/chicken salad are equally palatable. Thanks for providing such enjoyment to our post-Thanksgiving meal.
You are so welcome, David! I love your additions, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I added apples too my turkey salad instead of the sugar (I had apples I wanted to use)
Next time will definently use the sugar.
Delicious
Made this just now from the remains of turkey day and this delicious (abt a 1/4 recipe size) I followed the recipe and happened to have fresh dill and lemon. Love it thanks!
You are so welcome, Michael! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
This was very easy and delish. Will make again!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Bridget!
I added grapes and walnuts and some salt, halved the sugar.
YUM! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jennifer!
This recipe is just perfect. full of flavor but not overwhelming.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Ruth!
Quick and quite tasty. Well balanced flavor. Not overly heavy like most turkey/chicken/tuna salad. Great on crackers as well.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Allison!
Quick and quite tasty. Well balanced flavor. Not overly heavy like most turkey/chicken/tuna salad. Great on crackers ass well.
loved it,,,,
I have made Kelly’s recipe several times and my family luvs it!! Also, have added sliced grapes sometimes and other times added a few rough chopped toasted pecans. My sons like it best when I add curry and grapes. I find that Kelly’s recipes always turn out perfect and are soooo delicious.
Love your additions, Suzanne! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe and Just a Taste! :)
Yummy…I didn’t have fresh dill so used dried and also added sliced almonds for a little extra crunch. I’m from the South so a little sugar always makes it into my chicken salad, lol. Will definitely make this again.
Love your addition of sliced almonds, Mary! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I used hickory smoked turkey off my BGE and yeah, this is a worthy recipe.
YUM! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Tom!
Loved it!! It’s making its way to my recipe box.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Richard!
Instead of dill, I like to adding tarragon to my cbhicken salad!
I love tarragon as well, Brenda!
Good turkey salad recipe. Great way to use up leftover turkey.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Mark!
My Mom used to make turkey salad like this. Although I don’t think she’d ever heard of Dijon mustard back in the 50’s and 60’s She served the salad stuffed inside cleaned out tomatoes on lettuce leaves, Yum!
I’ making this for dinner and it’s 5:10pm already!! GottaRun
YUM!
Delicious way to use up leftover turkey!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Richard!
Perfect recipe. My Dijon happens to include sauerkraut. I took the risk and was rewarded! Turns out your recipe is also good with this unusual addition.
Woohoo! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Keren!
Yummmm!!
We smoked a turkey with creole seasoning and I followed this recipe to the letter with the leftovers. OMG – hubby said it was the best turkey salad he has ever eaten. I would have never thought of using sugar or dill…what a game changer.
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Teresa!
Instead of adding sugar I added dried cranberries….which are already full of added sugar.
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe, Blake!
Absolutely delicious and you were so right about less mayo!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Joey!
My husband and I loved this recipe. I substituted Swerve granular sugar for the regular sugar to be Keto-friendly. I was skeptical about the dill but it was fantastic! I also added slivered almonds which gave it a little crunch. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
So glad you enjoyed it, Susan!
Great recipe. I did not have any Dijon mustard, so I substituted it for 2 teaspoons regular mustard and added 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce for lack of spices in regular mustard. It was really delicious. My granddaughter said it was better than her moms.
I’m so thrilled you and your granddaughter enjoyed the recipe, Beth!
Was delicious. Substituted regular onion for shallot, dried dill weed for fresh (doubled the amount), and yellow mustard for poopon. Ate open-faced on toast and on ritz crackers. Having used all white meat, used extra mayo.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Theresa!
My celery and dill aren’t coming in till tomorrow but I did have dill seasoning and I used mustard and celery seasoning instead because I didn’t have the fresh ingredients in hand yet. And then I tasted it and couldn’t wait until the fresh ingredients came in for a 1st sandwich. Delicious! I have time to add fresh ingredients tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe. Yum.
Woohoo! So thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Cheryl!
This is the best turkey salad I’ve ever made! I added some brown sugar & substituted celery seed (since I didn’t have fresh celery on hand).
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I used honey instead of sugar, fantastic recipe!
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Lauren!
Today is my 2nd time making this. My family loves it :)
I’m thrilled your family has been enjoying the recipe!
If you don’t have dill, substitute some dill pickle, chopped. For a change of pace, add a little thinly sliced pear.
Love the dill pickle swap, CJ!
Very good! Will make again 5 stars
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Darlene!
My dad was always the turkey/chicken salad maker, this recipe tastes pretty close to what he made. I added a little peppered bacon salt (I got it for Christmas) to taste. I will make this again.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Tom!
Fantastic. I used with Turkey Leftovers. Quick Easy to make. My teens and wife loved it.
I’m so happy to read this, Robert!
Love this recipe so good the dijon mustard and sugar fantastic.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Dave!
I added add egg and sweet relish.. hubby: “wow jenn that’s really good “… definitely a keeper.. . Thanks for sharing..
I’m so thrilled to read this, Jennie!
This recipe redeemed my overcooked turkey breast and we are happily looking forward to another sandwich or two in the next few days. Needed to sub dried dill but next time would like to try fresh. Personal preference requires the addition of dried cranberries and chopped pecans. Fabulous!
Yay! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Rose!
I made this last night for dinner. I did put an apple chopped up and grapes sliced in half, along with chopped pecans and Craisins. OMG!! This turkey salad could become an addiction! It is SO GOOD!
YESSSSS! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Linda!
Super good recipe.. cut the mayo by a 4th and doubled the djion. Added in some tosted chopped pecans. Definatley a winner on post Thanksgiving day 4… lol
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Eric!
Hi Kelly.
Can I use hell-mans olive oil mayonnaise instead of regular mayo?
Absolutely!
Absolutely the best turkey salad I’ve ever had. Love your recipes. They’re all delicious.
I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipes, Pam!
Loved the recipe! I skipped the sugar and added craisins and chopped pecans.
Love your additions, Rob! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe :)
I going to do this when I get off work tonight can’t wait!
Enjoy!
I don’t usually comment but I made some for my mom and she loved it. Thank you soooo much!
It’s so tasty and the sugar really did make it taste phenomenal!
Best way to use the rest of thanksgiving turkey
I’m so thrilled to read this, Cydney! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
Very, very nice. I agree with the implication that it should probably be 3floz of mayo instead of 4.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Craig!
Love the recipe…made it today! So tasty, I think the fresh dill makes it delicious!!
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Chris!
Made this Turkey salad today. Following your recipe. The only change I made was instead of sugar I used two cups of red grapes. So good. Everyone enjoyed their sandwiches. Will make it again.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, James!
Forgot to rate it with my comment…. 10 STARS!
Thanks so much, Lillie!
I definitely did! Just so happen, I had all the indredients including dill so I made it on my lunch break while working from home. This is really simple and so satisfying. Now, I have lunch for the rest of the week as well as a late nate snack to satisfy my cravings. Thanks a billion, I didn’t know what I was going to do with this fried turkey!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Lillie!
So good! I had so much turkey leftover and wasn’t sure what to do with it. I made this today. I had bought some sourdough bread to use with turkey sandwiches but this was so much better. I have some leftover cranberry sauce and put some on my sandwich. Delicious!
YUM! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Denise!
dry lacked flavor
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the recipe, Ingrid.
Thanks for sharing your recipe. It is delicious.
You are so welcome, Shelia! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Having our own Thanksgiving celebration this year meant lots of leftovers! Whipped this up and it’s a hit!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Emily!
Amazing! Didn’t have fresh dill so I used about 4 tablespoons of dill relish (not sweet) instead. Also, no added salt, as the light mayo and dill relish provide enough sodium. Wow, what a wonderful way to use a bunch of leftover turkey. Excellent recipe!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Janet!
Best turkey salad I’ve ever had!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed it, Jane!
I found this a little boring. Not sure why. The sugar amped up the mayo flavor, and I don’t care for that (even though I only put in half the sugar). BUT, I added Everything But the Bagel seasoning and had it on great bread and it was delicious.
Fabulous recipe. I had 6 cups of leftover Turkey and this is delicious way to use it! I pulsed it in the food processor so it’s smoother, like “chicken salad chick” texture. I also used Stevia instead of sugar and it was great. I had dry dill so used that instead of fresh and it was perfect. (Almost left the dill out because I don’t usually like it but this was a great flavor and just a hint so don’t omit!!)
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Amy!
Delicious and easy!
The whole family loves this. The only Turkey salad I ever loved
I’m so thrilled to read this, Marie!
Very good. Really liked the combination of sugar lemon juice, Mayo, mustard, and scallions. Didn’t have dill so substituted with rosemary.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Nan!
Excellent! Simple and easy but very good!
Easy and delicious!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Tyra!
I am sitting here at the kitchen table enjoying this wonderful turkey salad. Thanks for an easy delicious recipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Elizabeth!
Delicious recipe. Love the addition of dill. I added some dried cherries and it was a nice addition although dried cranberries would be good also.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Barbara!
I have never made a turkey salad before – and this one was fabulous. I made no changes to your recipe – followed it to the “t” and I was thrilled. And, we should note that my husband loved it!! I truly think your “secret ingredient” is sugar. What a refreshing salad!! And, I’m with you … the 1/2 cup of mayo was plenty!!!
I’m so thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the recipe, Deborah!
My husband is freaking out on how much he loves this recipe. Thank You For this Wonderful Recipe!!
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled to read this, Laura!

I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Claudia!
Omg, everyone loved it!! So good
Woohoo! I’m so thrilled to read this, Frankie!
We periodically cook a turkey breast in a crock pot and were looking for something different to do with the leftovers. This recipe was fantastic! We added some glazed pecans that kicked it up a little more. Thanks for the recipe!!
Love your addition of glazed pecans, Greg! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Hi, I never made turkey salad before. Imagine that at 58! I thought it might be, “funky”, lol. To my very pleasant surprise it was fantastic! I went a step further and threw in some dried cranberries for pizzazz and a true Thanks-giving-y feel!
Delicious and am trying a few more of your recipes!
Thank you!
Welcome to Just a Taste, Beth! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the turkey salad!
Best Turkey salad ever! Thank you!
So happy to read that, Nikki!
I rarely comment on anything on line but this salad was easy and the best I have ever made. I did not have scallions but have chive in my garden and they worked great. I did not have fresh dill so I used a small amount of dried. Absolutely fantastic. The sugar made a real difference! Love this!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Linda!
This recipe is delicious!!! I left out lemon juice and sugar. Didn’t have fresh dill so used dried. We like extra mayo and mustard too.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Juliana!
I only had about a cup of turkey but decided to make it anyway. I think the Dijon mustard is what gives it a great flavor, and I don’t even like mustard as a condiment! Just happened to have dill growing out on the deck. I did not have scallions on hand, wish I did. Most delicious. Thank you for keeping it simple. I will make it again.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Marianne!
Excellent! I will be making this again. I didn’t have dill, but it still tasted delicious!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Valerie!
This is delicious . I’m making it for a second time. Thanks
I’m so thrilled you’re enjoying the recipe!
So, I don’t cook, but wife has been out of town and we had a lot of leftover Turkey….so….gave it a shot. It took me about 30 minutes (there has to be an easier way to shred or chop meat), but man it is on POINT! Love those pickles in there…never had it like that before. On Point!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Excellent recipe, sugar who knew
YES! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, James!
Thanks for the recipe. Wife and I loved it, using our leftover Easter turkey breast. Used dried chives instead of scallions that I didn’t have, and definitely used more mayo.
I’m so thrilled you and your wife enjoyed the recipe, Matt!
I made the Turkey Salad recipe. Great combo on flavors. Thanksa
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Judy!
Great recipe! I made it my own by replacing the sugar with two teaspoons of sweet relish. I still use dill weed and add two teaspoons of chopped dill pickle. “The grill-master” slow SMOKES a turkey breast just for this recipe. It makes a delightful lunch especially after marrying in the fridge for a few days. It goes well with either crackers or on croissants. Co-workers and friends rave! Thank you again..
You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!
This is a great recipe. Had so many compliments and had to make a second batch two days later
Amazing! So thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Julie!
My 11 and 13 year old daughters just made the turkey salad. Used 1/2 shredded by hand 1/2 ground with Kitchen Aid mixer. Nice mix of creamy and chunky. Turned out great.
Love this!
YES … made this SCRUMPTIOUS Turkey Salad with left over deep fried Turkey. Hubby & I thoroughly enjoyed on bed of lettuce. Perfect blend of ingredients. My husband said ‘WOW this is BEST turkey salad ever!” Thank You.
Love this! I’m so thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the recipe, Irene!
Delicious and simple. Love it.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
A great flavorful way to use leftover turkey! We love it!!
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Tammy!
very good I did add grapes .
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Larry!
I made this today with leftover herb turkey and used sweet onion as I was out of scallions, my family loved it, I think it is your secret ingredient of sugar that sets this salad above the rest. You nailed it!
So glad you enjoyed it, Lynn!
We loved this turkey salad. I will be making this a lot with our leftover turkey! Yummy !!
I’m so thrilled to hear this, Sally!
Loved this recipe. I used left over smoked turkey breast and substituted tarragon for the dill. I’ve never tried dried mustard in turkey salad and was pleasantly surprised with the flavor. Family really enjoyed the turkey salad on toasted artisan bread. Yummy!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Erika!
Delicious Turkey salad recipe! Love the scallions add. Gives it such a nice flavor.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I have made this turkey salad recipe three times since thanksgiving. It is delicious!!!
Woohoo! Love hearing this, Beleta! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the recipe :)
Went shopping for the ingredients today,
Will make the salad tomorrow I am sure we will love it.
I hope you enjoy the recipe, Marla!
… My supermarket is now selling rotisserie 1/2 turkey breast on the bone next to the rotisserie chickens. I bought one. I had a few slices of it at home. It was cooked very well. Tasty and not dry. But the next day I had almost the whole thing left and I don’t really like turkey the next day. But I do like chicken salad, so I figured how different can turkey be. It’s poultry!
I found your recipe on line – top of the list – and I had every ingredient needed so I decided to give it a go.
It was a very nice turkey salad. And I am in agreement with you, the mayo dijon ratio is very good and I’m not a fan of dijon… I don’t like anchovies in a Cesar salad because all to often more fish is used than needed. When you get the anchovies ratio right with the dressing, that’s when it is good! It’s the same as you have done here with the mustard mayo mix. You’ve nailed the proportions of each.
The celery added a nice crunch. I was a bit hesitant about the scallions, but followed your recipe with no detours! I always have fresh dill in the house and that added to the flavor (we didn’t eat it until one day later). I’d say it’s pretty healthy too. You’re not using all that much mayo.
Thank you so much for your comment, Martin! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I have made chicken salad for years just using my own head. I read this recipe and was anxious to use it with Dijon mustard. I have never put mustard in chicken or turkey salad. I followed your recipe and it is DELICIOUS! Thank you!
You are so welcome, Christina! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Hello Kelly, I tried ur recipe twice, one w/fried jerk turkey and the other fried barbecue turkey both were great. The best Turkey ever thanks.
I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the recipe!
Very, very good. I did however use onion powder because I didn’t have scallions. And I added relish cause we like it and I didn’t have dill either
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Alaina!
Hi, just wanted to inform you that this was the first time that I made Turkey salad. I followed your recipe and my turkey salad was a number one I would recommend this recipe to all of my friends. My wife enjoyed this dish as well, from this day going forward I know what dish that I’ll be serving after the major holidays. Thank you for a awesome quick and easy dish.
You are so welcome, Anthony! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I have been cooking for about 71 years and disliked most turkey or chicken salad, but I tried this recipe on the leftovers from a 12 pound turkey just eaten by two people. It was really good. Served it with cranberry relish and some crackers. Verrry good.
CO Texan
WOW! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Easy and soooooo delicious! Thank you for posting this recipe. I will be checking back for other dishes to try based on the success of this turkey salad recipe.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I’m no stranger to cooking, so I dove right into this recipe! It was a great base to start using 2 Rotisserie Chickens I had…so needless to say, I removed all the meat, chopped it up and used it. Also added one 10oz bottle of dijonaise I had along with 1/2c mayo. Added 1 finely diced, peeled, green apple and Boom! It was liked by all! Thanks! Send some more…lol.
I made this with leftover smoked turkey and it was absolutely delicious!
I was kind of hesitant in making it with smoked turkey but I liked it
even better than regular turkey. Thanks for the recipe and I will
definitely make again.
Awesome! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Kevin!
FantasticSalad !! I added boiled eggs however. !!! Still fantastic !! Thx for sharing

Adding you now, Grace! Thanks so much for your readership!
I’ve had turkey salad before that had cut up grapes in it. What do you think about that, and would you make those a substitute for the sugar?
Grapes would be a delicious addition! And yes, feel free to leave out the sugar :)
Made this for my husband. Absolutely delicious. You won’t be disappointed !
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Donna!
Very good, I was really hesitant about the sugar, but followed the recipe exactly, added just a touch more mayo…delicious!! A recipe I will keep!
Yes! The sugar is key! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Virginia :)
My turkey was spicy how to make it not my turkey salad
RECIPE WAS EASY AND REALLY GOOD. I DID USE MORE MAYO AND TWO HARD BOILED EGGS DICES AND WITHOUT THE YELLOWS. ENJOYED FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
I’m thrilled you enjoyed it!
Great recipe. I just made it.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Jean!
excellent. I had some grapes left over that I diced and tossed in. The grapes need to be sweet though.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, James!
All good

Woohoo! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jeanmarie!
This is great. Ate it on a toasted pretzel bun with a slice of provolone. Thanks!!
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Alison!
Had a turkey that we smoked over the weekend and used that for this GREAT salad. Thank you so much for a perfect turkey salad. Had it on rolls with a greens salad on the side.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Lenore!
I had a honey glazed turkey breast so I omitted the sugar and this recipe was absolutely yummy! I don’t use mustard in my chicken salad so this was new for me but I will definitely use it from now on. Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome, Lisa! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Yummy!!! I changed lemon juice to vinegar and added chopped pickle (I absolutely cannot follow any recipe, it’s a sickness!). Best turkey salad ever!
Ha! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Kathy!
It was very good and I passed it on to my friend. I don’t read my email like that, so can you guys don’t send me any emails please, thank you in advance.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Deborah!
This is FABULOUS!!! I’ve made it many times! The whole family loves it & I’ve got picky eaters!
I have to alter a few ingredients due to my food allergies – but it is GREAT every time! THANK YOU!!!!!
SO thrilled to hear you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Roxy!
Made the turkey salad great recipe we all loved it thank you
You are so welcome, Mark! Thrilled to hear you enjoyed it!

Thrilled you’re enjoying the recipe, Donna!
That was the best turkey salad I’ve ever had! Thanks for posting the recipe. 5 stars!
I’m SO thrilled you enjoyed it, Virginia!
Very good! Yummy in my tummy!….
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Edward!
I made this today 12/28/2018 and it far exceeded my expectations. Delicious!
Awesome! So thrilled to hear this, Joe!
This was delicious. I didn’t have fresh dill, so I used dill relish instead. Still wonderful. Thank you.
You are so welcome, JoAnne! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
This is the best. Can also make with chicken
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Lara!
Very easy to make and absolutely delicious!! TY for the recipe
You are so welcome, Glenn! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
This recipe is delicious to say the least. The dill is perfect addition. I used chopped dried cherries (what I had in hand) instead of sugar.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed this recipe, Marta!
Made it today and it’s fantastic! I added a tablespoon of sweet relish and I am in love!
Thrilled to hear this, Shannon!
Loved the recipe ❤ Added craisins and candied pecans. Delicious!!
Delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Brittney!
What does the celery add? Is it a specific flavor that would run the recipe of leave it or it’s it more of a crunch? I ask because I really can’t stand celery. It’s third in line after beets and cauliflower on food that is just a big no for me. I’ve never had turkey sales, though I like egg, tuna, and chicken salad a lot. (TBH though I use the same recipe for all three – miracle whip, mustard and sweet relish).
Feel free to leave it out!
I made this yesterday and used dried dill and chives as everyone is not always a fan of onions. It was awesome then and even better today!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Sharon!
This was yummy!! I used sweet and spicy relish in place of the dill and sugar and it turned out just great! Thanks for the recipe! Love the crunch from the celery and onion.
Woohoo! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Jamie!
I have never made turkey salad until this year. I had so much left of my fried turkey breast and it was so delicious, I just had to make your recipe. The hardest part was preping the turkey & celery then it was so easy! It was sheer heaven. So good. Thank you for this recipe.
Thank you so much for your comment, Jo! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Made the turkey salad for my son he love it the taste was awesome thanks
So glad to hear this, Rosa!
Hi Kelly, I also made this and followed the recipe as is, well except for the fresh dill. I had to dried as I couldn’t find fresh dill at my supermarket. But I used the sugar as directed and this indeed is THE best turkey salad ever! I think the rest of my turkey will go fast with this recipe for sure. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe!
-Veronica
You are so welcome, Veronica! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Delicious! My only complaint is who keeps fresh dill around? Sounds great, but this is a leftover recipe. Worthless if I have to go to the store. I added a little bit more mayonnaise, and some diced granny Smith apples with a dash of curry powder. Came out great, and I didn’t have to go to the store.
I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe, Russell!
Just made this – OMG yum!!! I was skeptical about the sugar, but added it anyway – it really does add a hint to the dressing, setting off the lemon and dijon! (I used country dijon, family favorite, and dried dill, as that’s what I had on hand) – Delicious, so I imagine it will be even better tomorrow when I take it to work for lunch. Thanks for posting it!
LOVE hearing this, Susan! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe :)
Love this! Added some freshly crumbled Cajun bacon, erythritol instead of sugar, and some horseradish seasoning. I ate it straight out of the bowl with some shredded parmesan!
Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it, Dani!
The mayo / dijon / sugar mix gives this turkey salad great flavor! I added diced apple and walnuts… yum!
YUM! Love your additions, Lauren!
Fabulous!!! I added some unsweetened rice vinegar too. And used green onions, which are basically the same as scallions.
I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Katherine!
Loved the fresh dill. I doubled the recipe (had so much turkey) and we can’t wait for our lunches this week!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Ellen!
Excellent! My family and I loved it. I used the leftover Thanksgiving turkey we had. The best part is it’s only 2 Freestyle points per serving even w the sugar! Thank you!
You are so welcome, Barb! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
It was so good! I added some poultry seasoning and tarragon to mine. I didn’t have any scallions so I substituted leeks instead. The whole family absolutely loved it!!
Love hearing this, Heather!
Any suggestions to possibly replace the mayo…wife’s allergic?
Hi Bob! I haven’t tried this replacement in this recipe, but Greek yogurt might work. Would love to hear your results if you give it a shot!
Great start, I live alone, would make 1/2 recipe, but without a doubt add in seedless grapes and toasted nuts (pecan or walnut)
Delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Gigi!
Made this tonight for dinner with toast, sliced tomato and lettuce.
It was delicious! I didn’t have dill so I subbed marjoram, and I didn’t have scallions so I subbed onion and a pinch of garlic. The salad on it’s own was devine. I love spicy, so I also added wasabi to my sandwich for a kick!!
This was my first time making turkey salad and I am impresses. Thank you for the recipe! Will make again!
Excellent! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Shari!
Best turkey salad ever!! I’m not much of a fan of mayonnaise, so it was perfect!! I substituted chopped white onions for scallions and dill relish for fresh dill—it was all I had leftover after Thanksgiving dinner!! Perfect combination!!
Thank you so much, Linda! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
Delicious!!! Did not have scallions used shallots in place of and added a T of horseradish. Turned out great.
So glad you enjoyed it, Mike!
This is delicious and sounds similar to my recipe, but I add crumbled bacon. Good recipe!
Love your addition of bacon, Margaret!
I didn’t have celery on hand so I added some dried cranberries and homemade bread and butter pickles for texture. I also recently visited the biltmore in Asheville NC and decided to add my favorite dressing… vidalia onion… for a little something extra. Such a great idea for leftover Turkey! Thank you for such great ideas!
You are so welcome, Jennifer! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe!
I substituted 1 package of Stevi a for the sugar, and now have -0- carb salad! Loved by entire family. Thank you.
I’m thrilled you and your family enjoyed the recipe, Carol!
Do you think you could freeze this?
Hi Constance! I’ve never tried freezing this recipe, so I can’t say with certainty how the de-frosted results would taste.
Absolutely delicious. My family loved it! I have made it several times now and it is always a hit.
I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying this recipe, Janice!
My turkey is sliced and comes frozen. I thawed it smoke the turkey salad. How long does turkey salad last once it is repaired and sealed in the refrigerator
Hi Patricia! The turkey salad will last up to five days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Yum!! Thanks. I left out the sugar because my immune system seems to do much better when I strictly limit sugar; I’m sure it would’ve been even yummier with the sugar, but we loved it even without. Will def make this again
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Tammy!
I’m trying the left over Turkey salad now!! Yum..
Thanks Donna,
I love it!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Debra!
I read scallions, the replies say shallots…which is it?
Hi Donna – This recipe calls for scallions.
This will be my go-to turkey salad. I made a few modifications. Added 1/2 cup toasted, chopped walnuts and 1/4 cup dried cranberries..rehydrated in ginger ale. Prefect!!!
Love hearing this, Donna!
Honestly this is an awesome recipe I didn’t have shallots either I made up for it with sweet onion and celery. I chopped up everything threw in my Ninja n BOOM delicious! Thanks so much! Oh..I threw in some fennel spice too
I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipe, Patty!
Excellent recipe. I didn’t have shallots or dill so I chopped up some homemade bread and butter pickles. Best turkey salad I’ve ever had. Will definitely make it again. Thanks
Wow! Thank you so much for your comment! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe :)
Wow! I just made this with a lower glycemic sugar (coconut) and it was still delicious!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Anna!
My son-in-law & I made this with leftover turkey breast. It was delicious! I may buy turkey just to be able to have this again!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Paula!
WOW! I just made it, Very good, I think the kicker is the sugar dill and dijon, and to quote Emril, BAM!!! this recipe went into our book!! Thank you!!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Kurt! I agree that trio of ingredients is key :)
My family enjoyed the flavor of this turkey salad and asked me to make it again.
Woohoo! So glad you and your family enjoyed the recipe, Susan!
This was GREAT! I had to use regular mustard and some leftover yellow onion, very finely sliced. I also went with the other commenter on adding craisins for more texture and flavor variety. YUM.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Betsy!
I made this recipe I omitted the Dijon mustard for regular yellow mustard and I use golden raisins to replace the sugar I also added red onions instead of scallions. This turkey salad was the hit of my event. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
You are so welcome, Stafford! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I MADE THIS RECIPE WITH OUR LEFT OVER TURKEY FROM THANKSGIVING & IT IS DELICIOUS! THANK YOU FOR SHARING, I WILL BE MAKING THIS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!
Woohoo! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Pat!
Great recipe, only thing I need was Dill so ran to store and got some fresh Dill. Quick and easy, I also did a batch with green grapes instead of sugar, also very tasty.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
