Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Deli Turkey – freshly sliced turkey breast, about 6 oz
- Celery – 1/2 cup finely chopped
- Red Onion – 1/4 cup finely chopped
- Mayonnaise – 1/4 cup
- Dijon Mustard – 1 tablespoon
- Fresh Parsley – 2 tablespoons chopped
- Salt – to taste
- Black Pepper – to taste
- Bread of Choice – 4 slices (soft sandwich bread, crusty, or whole grain)
Instructions
- Prepare the Turkey Salad: Dice or shred your deli turkey into bite-sized pieces for easy mixing. Finely chop the celery and red onion to add fresh crunch and subtle sharpness to the salad.
- Mix the Dressing: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Gently fold in the turkey, celery, and red onion, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Choose your preferred bread and lightly toast it if desired to add extra texture. Spread a generous portion of the turkey salad on one slice of bread, then top it with another slice to complete the sandwich.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the sandwich in half for easier handling and serve with optional garnishes like lettuce or tomato slices. Enjoy the delightful blend of creamy and crunchy textures with vibrant flavors.
Notes
- Choose Fresh Turkey: Using freshly sliced turkey breast improves flavor and texture.
- Control the Creaminess: Add mayo or substitutes gradually to prevent sogginess.
- Chill Before Serving: Let the turkey salad rest for 20 minutes for flavors to meld.
- Toast Your Bread: Toasting adds crunch and helps prevent sogginess from dressing.
- Use Sharp Knives: Sharp knives create neat sandwich cuts for better presentation.
