Some things are just memorable. About 25 years ago a lady brought a similar salad to the office. I always meant to try it but there are always so many delicious leftover turkey dishes and never enough leftover turkey. I finally made the effort to make this. Wonderful change of pace. Light, sophisticated, summer fare with amazing flavors. Marked my rating down though because I do think the terminology is confusing and the proportions are off in the recipe as written. I adapted but some people can’t. Only a cup of turkey and 2 celery stalks (I guess that is what is meant by a “rib” of celery) seems like more celery than meat. Anatomical increments used instead of standard measurements can also vary widely from, say, stalk to stalk, or rib to rib. I eyeballed it to taste instead. I thought ½ cup each of the grapes and apples to the 1 cup of turkey was also too much. Although I probably used ½ cup of the fruits, I did use about 3 cups of turkey. I felt that it required chilling to meld the delicate flavors and I wanted more than a single meal, (maybe the next day too,) out of the salad. But anything with apples would need a splash of citrus juice over the apple chunks, before adding to the salad, to keep them from turning brown so quickly. I used whole grain flat breads for wraps. Red seedless grapes seem to be a little sweeter and added nice color. I ended up with a hearty turkey salad with a bit of a sweet fruit element and a subtle walnut crunch. Just what I wanted.
