This Smoked Turkey Salad Recipe is one that I am shocked that I hadn’t tried making sooner! Holiday dinner leftovers are a favorite of mine, but turkey salad was not a creation I had made before. Plus its an easy lunch the day after smoking a turkey!

How To Make Smoked Turkey Salad:

I made this using leftover smoked turkey breast, but any smoked turkey will work. (Check out my Smoked Turkey Recipes -> here). I picked up my Pit Boss Grill at Lowes, but Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or the Pitboss website. I love the cost of them vs. other pellet smokers, plus it hasn’t disappointed me yet.

Shred the leftover smoked turkey into small pieces.

Chop up your veggies to the fineness that you like.

A dry rub works amazingly well on turkey, but doing a brine with the dry rub adds more flavor. There is no wrong way to smoke a turkey. Now, I buy extras during the holidays, so I have extra turkeys to smoke later in the year!
