Curried Turkey Salad is a great way to use all that leftover turkey, especially those little bits and pieces . Plus it is oh-so-simple to make. I made it with about half-and-half white meat and dark meat. The curry adds a special flavor that blends perfectly with that heat and flavor of the green chiles.
This is a versatile recipe – feel free to add your own variations. I added avocado and hard boiled egg. The avocado blends in – it adds a creamier texture but the curry and chile flavor tend to cover up the flavor of the avocado.
