Curried Turkey Salad with Apples, Cranberries and Walnuts

November 12, 2008 by Nicole 16 Comments

Curried Turkey Salad with Apples, Cranberries, and Walnuts | pinchmysalt.com

Although I haven’t roasted a turkey yet this season, I’ve been enjoying the occasional roasted turkey breast from grocery store deli. I love turkey sandwiches and when my husband is away, a roasted turkey breast or rotisserie chicken from the grocery store up the street is the perfect thing to keep me fed for a few days.

This Curried Turkey Salad recipe popped into my head this morning, but it wasn’t until I was putting it together that I decided to swap out the celery for apples. I had planned on using turkey, dried cranberries, celery, and chopped walnuts along with my standard dressing for curried chicken salad.

I’m sure it would be good with celery, but I want to take leftovers to my sister’s house for dinner tomorrow and I’m pretty sure my brother-in-law hates celery. So at the last minute I decided that tart green apples would be a great addition rather than celery.

The salad turned out great, and I just enjoyed eating some of it on a croissant. I really don’t think I’ll mind eating it the same way tomorrow night!

Ingredients

Dressing:

1/2 cup plain Greek-style yogurt

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons curry powder*

1 tablespoon honey

generous pinch of salt

fresh ground black pepper

Salad:

4 cups cooked and chopped turkey

1/2 cup diced apple (pref. granny smith)

1/3 cup chopped sweetened dried cranberries

1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts**

Instructions

Whisk all the dressing ingredients until well combined.

In a large bowl, combine all of the salad ingredients. Add the dressing and stir well. Serve on your favorite bread as a sandwich or on a bed of greens as a salad.

Notes

*If you prefer less spice in your salad, start with one tablespoon of curry powder then taste dressing and add more if desired. I used a full two tablespoons. **To toast walnuts, spread a handful of walnuts on a baking sheet. Toast in a preheated 350 degree oven for about five minutes or until they are fragrant. Don’t leave them in too long! Allow to cool slightly before chopping and adding to salad. For the turkey, I used a roasted half turkey breast from the deli section of the grocery store, but this would be perfect if you have lots of turkey left over from the holidays!

    This sounds just perfect....one clarification what is thick yogurt....does that mean a full fat yogurt? I definitely want to whip some of this up!

    Follow up comment...I made this last night for dinner using my Thanksgiving leftovers and it was absolute perfection! Served it on croissants and woke up thinking about it again this morning. Lucky for me there were leftovers that became my lunch. Yum!

    Great! My husband hates celery, loves apples and curry! Question: why no "print" option for just the recipes, or am I missing it? I like to save the print version with source info.
