Curry Turkey Salad That Thinks It’s Fancy but Isn’t
This curry turkey salad shows up acting sophisticated but secretly just wants to party in your mouth. It is creamy, bold, and slightly chaotic in the best way, turning leftovers into a flavor-packed situation that somehow feels both classy and wildly unnecessary but totally worth it
Ingredients:
- 2 cups chopped cooked turkey meat
- 1 apple, peeled, cored, chopped
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1/4 cup of raisins and/or dried cranberries
- 2 Tbsp chopped green onion or chives
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (can substitute parsley)
- 1 rib celery chopped
- 1/2 Tbsp Catch a Fire’s Curry Powder
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Third Coast’s Rich Golden Jalapeno Honey
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
- In a small skillet, heat the Catch a Fire’s Curry Powder on medium low heat until quite fragrant.
- Remove from heat. Do not linger too long over the heat or the curry powder will start to toast. The point of this step is to heat it enough to release more of its flavor. You can easily skip this step if you are in a hurry.
- In a large bowl, mix the Catch a Fire’s Curry Powder, yogurt, mayonnaise, Third Coast’s Rich Golden Jalapeno Honey, and ground ginger.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently fold in the chopped, cooked turkey, apple, raisins/dried cranberries, green onions, cilantro, and celery.
- Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve on a bed of lettuce greens or in a sandwich.
- Options: for a little more zing, add a little Catch a Fire’s Mango Chutney to the dressing.
