Curried Smoked-Turkey Salad Wraps

I’m a big fan of traditional curried chicken salad so I upped the ante here by incorporating ready-made smoked turkey leg. The smokiness is a great counter to the sweetness in this dish. I especially love the low-carb variation!
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 2–4
- 1 smoked turkey drumstick skinned deboned and chopped
- 1 cup thinly sliced iceberg lettuce
- ⅔ cup diced Fuji apple (about ½ an apple)
- ¼ cup finely diced celery
- 3 Tbsp dried cranberries
- 2 Tbsp toasted slivered almonds
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp curry powder
- kosher salt to taste
- 2 whole wheat wraps
PREPARATION
In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine the turkey lettuce apple celery dried cranberries and almonds. In a small bowl whisk the mayonnaise mustard honey lemon juice curry powder and salt. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and stir to combine. Divide the salad between the two wraps and fold up to close.
Variation Try a low-carb version by omitting the sliced lettuce and serving the salad in lettuce cups instead of wraps.
Note Smoked turkey drumsticks are a versatile ingredient that’s often overlooked in the kosher kitchen. They impart a delicious smoky flavor to cholent soups and stews. My smoked turkey split pea soup is a blog favorite and I hope some of these recipes become one too!
Tip When using smoked turkey legs in cooked recipes it’s always best to add salt at the end of cooking since the turkey leg will provide much of the salty flavor.
