Here's a bright, fresh lunch that's ideal if, perhaps, you've overindulged (and delicious even if you haven't). A bit of lemony mayonnaise binds together roast turkey, apples, celery, and raisins. You can also serve the mixture over greens instead of bread.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • 2 cups diced roast turkey (a mixture of white and dark meat)

  • 1 large stalk celery, finely diced (about ½ cup), plus ¼ cup chopped celery leaves or parsley

  • ½ cup diced peeled green apple, such as Granny Smith or Mutsu

  • ¼ cup chopped golden raisins

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 6 thin slices rustic bread, toasted

  • Seedless cucumber, very thinly sliced, and watercress, for serving

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and pepper. In another bowl, mix together turkey, celery and leaves, apple, raisins, remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, oil, and 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise mixture.

  2. Spread each bread slice with about 1 tablespoon mayonnaise mixture. Top with turkey salad, dividing evenly. Garnish with cucumber and watercress.
