Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked turkey breast
• 1 cup Red seedless grapes
• 1 cup Green seedless grapes
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks
• 2 medium Crisp apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 cup Celery
• 0.5 cup Slivered almonds
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Chop the cooked turkey breast into bite-sized pieces and add to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Rinse and dry the red and green grapes, then slice them in half. Add them to the bowl with the turkey.

Step 3

Drain the pineapple chunks if using canned pineapple, and add them to the bowl.

Step 4

Core and chop the apples into small cubes, leaving the skin on for added crunch and color. Toss the apple cubes in lemon juice to prevent browning, then add them to the bowl.

Step 5

Thinly slice the celery and add it to the bowl along with the slivered almonds.

Step 6

In a small separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, plain Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the turkey and fruit mixture, gently tossing to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled as a light main course or a side dish. Optionally, garnish with additional slivered almonds for extra crunch.
