    Sage Turkey Salad

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Modern Mom Insider for Hellmann’s. All opinions expressed are 100% mine. 

    I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! We did our usual, I cooked, and my mother, mother-in-law, uncle-in-law, and sister came for dinner. My husbands Uncle John gets us our turkey every year, and gets a huge one. Like 22 pounds huge! It works out fine, because then we pack up leftovers for everyone, and still have a decent amount left for ourselves. The last thing I want to do the day after Thanksgiving is cook, or, to be more exact, the last thing I want to do is create more dishes to wash. Sage Turkey Salad seemed like the perfect solution last night, all I needed was a cutting board, a knife. a bowl, and a mixing spoon. Then I made pita sandwiches, and yes, that is a paper plate. No extra dishes!

    Sage-Turkey-Salad

     

    I do like turkey, but often when it comes to leftovers, I prefer dark meat over white. It seems to me that the white meat gets dry to easily. I used Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise in this turkey salad to make the turkey moist and flavorful. Hellmann's Mayonnaise is made with real, quality ingredients like eggs, oil, and vinegar, making it a great choice for leftovers.

     

    Hellmann's Mayonnaise and Sage

    First I mixed up Hellmann's Mayonnaise, finely chopped sage, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and set it in the fridge to let the flavors come together while I chopped up my turkey, celery, and green onion. I put them in a large bowl, then poured the Hellmann's Mayonnaise mixture in and stirred it up.

    Then I used a butter knife to spread the salad into pita bread, along with a few spinach leaves that were leftover from the spinach mushroom salad I made for Thanksgiving.

     

    Completed Sage Turkey Salad

    It took about twenty minutes to put the turkey salad together, including all the chopping, and dinner was served!
