Chicken or Turkey Salad

keen5's Note:

This is very good served over a bed of lettuce or as a sandwich. It's a good way to use up left over turkey at Thanksgiving. I am basing prep and cook time on using left over meat. Cook time is actually the chill time.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 3

• 2 cups cubedcooked chicken or 2 cups turkey
• ½ cup sliced celery
• 1⁄3; cup salad dressing or 1⁄3; cup mayonnaise
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1⁄8; teaspoon onion salt
• 1 dash pepper

Directions:

1. Combine chicken and celery in bowl.
2. Mix salad dressing (I used Miracle Whip), salt, poultry seasoning, onion salt and pepper.
3. Pour over chicken and celery; toss.
4. Cover; chill at least 2 hours.
5. For variation, fold in one of the following: 1 cup chilled fruit (mandarin orange segments, chopped apple, seedless green grapes or pineapple tidbits) or: 1/4 cup chopped sweet pickle or: 4 slices bacon, crsply fried and crumbled or: 1/3 cup chopped nuts.

I liked it but I had to add some more seasoning, I thought it was a bit bland. I added some dill, cayenne, garlic and used onion powder instead of onion salt.

I make my turkey salad the same way, with the exception of never had added poultry seasoning, we like it!! I also add boiled eggs. Thanks for posting, it's a keeper.
