Turkey Salad with Cranberries
4 cups cooked roasted turkey, chopped
Recommended Videos
1 cup yellow onion, minced
1 cup celery, small diced
½ cup dried cranberries (dried cherries would work too)
1 of your favorite apples, small diced
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
juice from ¼-½ lemon
2 tablespoons tarragon leaves, finely chopped
salt and black pepper, to taste
For serving:
your favorite slider buns, we used brioche buns
crisp fresh lettuce leaves
Combine the chopped turkey, onion, celery, cranberries and apples in a large bowl and mix.
Flavored Mayonnaise Mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice (starting with ¼ of a lemon) and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and pepper and add more lemon juice if desired. Reserve a few tablespoons of the mayonnaise mixture for your sandwiches. If you are making more than a couple of sandwiches, I recommend making a little more of the flavored mayonnaise.
Add as much of the mayonnaise as you like to your turkey salad mixture. Mix well. Taste for seasoning and adjust if desired.
To build a sandwich, I like to spread some of the flavored mayonnaise on my bread, then top with a generous scoop of turkey salad a few crisp lettuce leaves.
