Leftover Turkey Salad Spread

 

Honestly, the reason we buy a whole huge turkey for Thanksgiving is for the leftovers.  Cold turkey for a midnight snack, yes please.  Turkey and noodles, absolutely.  But this turkey salad spread is what my husband absolutely goes crazy over.  His grandma always made it the week after Thanksgiving and it is something we all crave and look forward to.  The consistency isn't what you expect when think of turkey or chicken salad.  It's a spread.  It's delicious on your favorite bread or crackers.  It would also be amazing with a thin slice of tomato and some thin sliced red onion.  For us, we prefer it alone on a leftover roll.

Leftover Thanksgiving turkey, dark and/or white meat, we usually use white

Mayonnaise

Dill Pickles

Salt and Pepper

Fill a food processor with as much turkey as you desire.

Add a couple dollops of mayonnaise.

Cut 3-4 dill pickles into 1 inch chunks and throw them in along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Pulse your food processor to get everything started and then turn it on high.  Scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally until it's a smooth, paste consistency.  I usually have to add a bit more mayonnaise and salt and pepper and just taste as I go until it's how we like it.

Serve on your favorite bread, cracker, or rolls.  Keep refrigerated.
