Chicken or Turkey Salad

Thanks to cousin Trisha for the recipe! This is so good, whether you have leftover roasted chicken/turkey or cook a breast or two. Perfect in butter lettuce as a wrap or in a croissant. Chicken or Turkey Salad Sandwiches were created in a Rhode Island meat shop, that soon became a deli!

 

Chicken or Turkey Salad

Depending on whether you can find gluten free cashews, we have carb counted one recipe with cashews and one with GF pistachios (the difference was less than one carb in the whole recipe). The cashew recipe came out the winner if choosing, however, both were really good.
