I was at a brother’s home over the weekend who fed the homeless and had a lot of turkey left over. He was thinking of buying a rotisserie chicken and making turkey salad. My wife told him he should use the left-over turkey from the boxes that weren’t given out and the turkey that was not put in the boxes. He told me he had never heard of turkey salad. The idea of eating it had never occurred to him. Another brother there had flown in from Washington State and had lived a long time in California. He said he’d never heard of turkey salad either. I asked if he’d heard of ham salad and he had heard of that.I’m wondering how common turkey salad is? I suppose this is something that hosts or those who take leftovers home might eat. Have any of you made turkey salad? Is it that uncommon for people to make the same thing as chicken salad out of another bird if they have a lot of leftovers.Maybe if we just loved Thanksgiving dinner enough to eat it for many, many meals in a row without alteration, we would have done that, but while I have done that quite a bit, I prefer a bit of variety.
I have never heard of turkey salad, but would assume it is much like chicken salad. But I would think the white meat would work the best for taste and consistency. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
