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