Festive Fall Turkey Salad

Festive Fall Turkey Salad

I created this recipe to use leftover holiday turkey. It’s a classic bound salad using mayonnaise and celery, but it also includes fresh cranberries, orange juice and cashews. Although new to our menu, it has become a holiday favorite. My family requests I make my own turkey before Thanksgiving so I can serve this salad as an appetizer at our holiday feast. I hope you will find it as enjoyable as we do. Enjoy it on rolls, in wraps, or as a spread with crackers.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole cranberries
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • ¾ cup cashew halves
  • 6 cups chopped cooked turkey
  • 2 celery ribs, diced
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons applesauce
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground dried sage
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.

Step 2
Place the cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, and sugar into a pan. Bring to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost all the liquid has cooked away, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and cool.

Step 3
Place cashews on prepared baking pan. Roast in preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove, and cool.

Step 4
Mix the turkey together in a large bowl with the celery, mayonnaise, applesauce, salt, sage, thyme, and pepper until evenly blended. Fold in the cranberry mixture. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
