Smoked Turkey & Bacon Salad

Smoked Turkey & Bacon Salad

Poultry, Salads
Main Dish, Party Food

Serves 8

This simple and delicious salad was inspired by a recipe from the New Braunfels Smokehouse by way of Karen Haram’s beautiful 1994 “San Antonio Cuisine”. It can easily be halved for a smaller crowd.

Serve this at or near room temperature – cooked bacon is not at its best when icebox-cold.

Ingredients #

  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 4 cups cubed smoked turkey
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 to 1 cup good quality mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions #

In a large bowl, gently toss together the bacon, turkey and celery. Fold in the relish and just enough mayonnaise to lightly coat everything.
