How to Make Turkey Salad Quick and Easy

Use turkey leftovers for turkey salad.

Thanksgiving often means a lot of food, which means a lot of leftovers. If you've got leftover turkey and don't want to simply reheat it, a quick turkey salad might be in the offing.

Things You'll Need

• 3 or 4 cups turkey
• 3 or 4 stalks celery
• 1 medium onion
• 3/4 cup of mayonnaise, regular or low-fat
• Food processor or blender
• Salt and pepper
• Medium-size bowl

Instructions

1. Tear or slice the turkey into small pieces. The turkey should be cold, as warm or hot turkey might cause the mayonnaise to spoil.

2. Add the turkey pieces into the food processor or blender. You also can chop the turkey by hand into very small pieces. Empty the turkey into the bowl.

3. Wash and dry the celery, then chop into pieces small enough to go into the processor. Pulse for 10 to 20 seconds. Add to the bowl.

4. Cut the onion into pieces small enough to be processed. Pulse for 10 to 20 seconds. Add to the bowl.

5. Mix in the mayonnaise and add salt and pepper to taste. Chill for about an hour. Serve on your choice of bread. You also can add lettuce and tomato.
