I thought this tasted good, but becareful with the salt as it is really salty! I would even start with as little as half. I did like the crunchiness from the celery and jalepeno. I did chop them both very finely though. The only changes I made were making 1/2 recipe, cutting back the pepper by half, using lite mayo, and fresh cilantro for the dried. I found that it got a little watery the next day. I am not sure if it was from the salt or the lite mayo I used. So, I would make and serve it fresh.

Liked the change from plain chicken salad. Next time, I'll try the jalapeno pepper; some family members don't like anything hot!

Excellent and easy to make. Recommend a bit more cilantro than the 1 tablespoon (we like cilantro). Excellent on a crusty roll. Made this with a Costco roasted turkey breast.

I personally hated this recipe, however others in the family liked it so I will rate it 3 stars. I felt it was too salty, too weird in taste and unpalatable, however I am not a fan of peppers so that could be just be me. I love turkey, but this just didn't cut it for me.

This recipe is really good EXCEPT for the amount of salt it calls for. I wish I had read some of the other reviews or thought about the fact that 2 teaspoons of salt is way too much. I added and added until the recipe was more than doubled and it was still too salty. Other than the salt, it was very good.

Having thawed my leftover Christmas turkey, I was in search of recipes in which to use it. I chose this one, as it seemed to be more flavorful than some turkey salad recipes I looked at. I made some changes, in accordance with some reviews, namely in using half low-fat yogurt/half mayonnaise and reducing the salt & pepper. Because I live in Greece, some ingredients are not available, so I used chopped pickles instead of pickle relish, and a canned jalapeno instead of the fresh one (how I wish I could get fresh jalapenos!) Because part of my turkey was taken from the boiled carcass and I feared that it would be tasteless, I added a bit of horseradish sauce. The result was wonderful.

This was AMAZING. I took the advice of another reviewer and omitted the salt. I didn't have celery or fresh jalapenos, so I threw in diced red onion and diced jarred jalapenos. I will be making this again and again!

Wonderful way to use up leftover turkey. I left out cilantro(can't stand it) and added 1/2 minced red onion. Also did not add salt(never do). It was very tasty. Would be terrific with chicken or tuna.
