Smoked turkey salad is a great way to use up your turkey leftovers. Easy to whip up in under 30 minutes, this delicious turkey salad will give you a quick delicious dinner with little effort!
Cube, shred or grind in a food processor the cooked smoked turkey and put it in a medium-sized bowl. Smoked chicken can also be used for this recipe.
Dice the apple, slice the celery, chop the pecans then add to the bowl with the turkey.
Add in the mayonnaise, pepper, and rice wine vinegar. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
This can be served immediately or can be chilled for two hours before eating. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
I do not recommend freezing as the mayonnaise will break down and the texture of the dish may change after being frozen.
