Tarragon Turkey-Walnut Salad Recipe
This tarragon turkey salad recipe is a good way to use up those turkey leftovers.
Serves 4
Ingredients
Ā¼ cup nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
Salt and pepper
2 cups cooked turkey, cubed

2 celery stalks, sliced
Ā¼ cup dried cranberries

1 tablespoon chopped tarragon or dill
Lettuce
Whole wheat bread
Sweet pickles, low sodium (optional)

Serving Suggestions
As a salad, scoopĀ theĀ tarragon turkey salad on a bed of mixed greens. We like to squeeze fresh lemon juice and sprinkle some coarse salt and pepper over theĀ salad just before eating for a bright flavor.
As a sandwich, you can serve it on whole wheat bread with sweet pickle slices, or just inside a whole wheat tortilla for an easily portable wrap that won’t get messy when you eat it.
As an appetizer, cut a multi-grain baguette into slices, sprinkle with some olive oil, and toast in the oven. Then scoop a tablespoon of theĀ tarragon turkey salad onto these small toasts.
