common recipe questions
What apples work best in a salad?
Our favorites for a recipe like this are Honeycrisp, Fuji, and Pink Lady. You want a crisp, slightly tart apple.
Can I use chicken or something else in this recipe?
Chicken is an easy substitute. You can also use shrimp or crab (fake or real).
Do I peel the apples?
Typically apples aren't peeled in a salad like this but it will work just fine if you prefer them peeled.
Can I use a sugar substitute?
Yes, sugar substitutes work fine in this recipe. If it is a substitute that is used in 1-to-1 quantities (like Splenda) then simply swap the ingredients. If it's another substitute, add it to taste, starting with half the amount called for and adding it until you get the desired level of sweetness. Note, the flavors will meld while the turkey salad chills so you may want to add less before chilling the salad and add more as needed just before serving.
