Turkey salad is a versatile dish that blends lean turkey meat with a variety of ingredients to create a flavorful and nutritious meal. Typically consisting of chopped or shredded turkey, mayonnaise or yogurt, celery, onions, and seasonings like salt and pepper, it offers a balance of creamy texture and crunchy accents. Originating as a staple in American cuisine, it’s often prepared with leftover turkey from holiday feasts. Rich in protein from the turkey, this salad provides energy and aids in muscle repair, making it a healthy choice for many. Ingredients like celery and onions add fiber and essential vitamins. For a lighter version, substituting mayonnaise with Greek yogurt reduces fat content while maintaining creaminess. However, be mindful of added sugars or excessive sodium in certain recipes that may impact its health benefits. Turkey salad can be enjoyed on its own, in sandwiches, or atop fresh greens for a wholesome meal option.
