Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked turkey breast, shredded or diced
- 0.5 cup Dried cherries, chopped
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds, toasted
- 0.5 cup Celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely minced
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Leafy greens (e.g., spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
- 4 slices Slices of whole-grain bread or croissants
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced turkey breast, chopped dried cherries, toasted sliced almonds, celery, and red onion. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the turkey mixture and gently fold everything together until the salad is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Lightly toast the bread slices or leave them as is, depending on your preference.
Assemble the sandwiches: place a generous scoop of the turkey salad onto one slice of bread, layer with leafy greens, and top with the second slice of bread. Repeat for the second sandwich.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Optionally, you can pair these with chips, a side salad, or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
