Method

In a medium bowl mix red pepper, celery, green onions, pickle relish and sandwich spread. Peel and dice hard cooked eggs and fold into mayonnaise mixture. Add diced turkey, salt and pepper; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. To serve line 6 plates with two lettuce leaves, divide turkey salad between plates; garnish with tomato slices, sprouts, and avocado.

 

Notes: This is my "secret weapon" for feeding family and overnight guests the day after Thanksgiving. Everyone loves this salad and the recipe can easily be doubled for a large group. Tucked in a cooler this makes a great picnic salad (pack sliced tomatoes separately and add right before serving). I also make this with leftover ham from Easter Sunday supper; it's a handy way to use up leftover Easter eggs, too!

 

Number of Servings: 6
