Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 to 1 ½ cups cooked turkey breast, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup celery, finely diced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt or light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 slices whole grain bread or your favorite sandwich bread, toasted lightly

Instructions

  1. Prepare the turkey and veggies: Chop the cooked turkey breast into bite-sized pieces. Finely dice the celery and slice green onions thinly. Set these aside for mixing.
  2. Mix the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt or light mayonnaise with freshly chopped dill or parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine everything: Add the chopped turkey, celery, and green onions into the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold all ingredients together until well coated, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
  4. Assemble the sandwich: Toast your chosen bread lightly to add texture. Spread the turkey salad mixture evenly onto one slice and cover with the other slice. Cut in half and serve immediately or wrap for later.

Notes

  • Use fresh turkey: Freshly cooked or deli turkey has the best texture; avoid overly processed meats for a cleaner bite.
  • Don’t overmix: Fold the ingredients gently to keep the salad light and maintain some crunch from veggies.
  • Customize your dressing: Taste and adjust lemon juice or herbs to match your preference.
  • Toast the bread: Adds a delightful crunch and helps hold up the moist filling.
  • Chill before serving: Letting the salad rest in the fridge for 30 minutes helps the flavors meld beautifully.
