Secret Ingredient Leftover Turkey Salad
Getting reviews...
I’m a big fan of secret ingredients and my (not-so) secret ingredient for this turkey salad is…sugar! It sounds strange in a savory turkey salad, but it really ups the flavor profile. 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 a turkey salad piled high with lettuce and tomato.

Ingredients
Directions
- 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 in a sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes or on lettuce leaves, if desired, or refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
Cook’s Note
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!
