    Turkey is a tasty alternative in chicken salad recipes. But that’s not the only smart addition to this salad: It also includes heart-healthy cashews and vitamin-packed red peppers for a nutritious, low carb meal.

    Cashew Turkey Salad

    Ingredients

    1/2 lb skinless cooked turkey breast
    3/4 cup fresh chopped celery
    1/2 cup unsalted cashews
    1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers
    1/4 cup mayonnaise
    3 tbsp sour cream
    1 pinch white pepper (optional)
    2 scallions, sliced

    Directions
    • Chop turkey, celery, cashews, and red bell pepper. Slice scallions.
    • In large bowl, toss the turkey, celery, cashews, scallions, and bell peppers.
    • In small bowl, blend mayonnaise, sour cream, and white pepper.
    • Add dressing to turkey mixture. Toss to coat well.
    Additional Information
    Use as a filling for tomato or cantaloupe half, or serve over a bed of fresh salad greens. Roasted, chopped almonds or walnuts can be substituted for cashews.
