Turkey salad - 8 cooking recipes

Since turkey meat is considered more dietary than chicken, salads with it are almost always related to dietary, healthy, light and healthy nutrition. With rare exceptions, of course: if they do not contain not too “healthy” products.

Like its closest relative, chicken, turkey can be included in a salad in different forms: boiled, fried, baked, smoked. Since this bird is more expensive precisely because of its composition, let’s say it would be more correct to use it boiled. And it tastes better when fried. It is highly recommended not to “spoil” the turkey salad recipe by adding mayonnaise to it, but to opt for a greener option.

For example: grilled sliced ​​turkey with fresh tomatoes, avocado, bok choy, drizzled with lime juice and sprinkled with sesame seeds. This salad will be a great start to even the most difficult day. By the way, you can prepare it for your loved one on February 14, March 8 or her birthday, she will definitely like it!

Turkey meat itself is drier than chicken meat. This must be taken into account when adding it to a salad as an ingredient. You can soften dryness with juicy ingredients such as tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, citrus fruits (oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes), kiwis, pineapples, peaches and so on. Pre-marinating the meat in any marinade followed by frying or baking in the oven also helps. Boiled turkey in a salad is good only if the goal is to prepare a dietary, or even medicinal, salad.

You can marinate it with the addition of aromatic spices, which will make the neutral taste of the meat more pronounced and bright.
