#603 - Turkey Salad

(by Shirley McNevich)

1/2 of a turkey breast (or leftover turkey that's already been cooked)
1/2 medium onion
1 stalk celery
3 hard boiled eggs
1 jar Hellman's light mayo
salt

Cook turkey breast in 3 qt. saucepan, adding enough water to cover (if using leftover turkey do not recook--skip to next paragraph). Add 1 tsp. salt. Cut up 1/2 onion and place in with turkey (do not chop or slice). Cut 3 sticks of celery in half and add to turkey. Cook until tender (takes about an hour). Use fork to test for doneness.

Let turkey cool. Take off skin and remove bones. You can throw away celery and onion, strain broth through sieve and save it for broth or gravy if you wish. It can be frozen in a plastic container with a lid.

On a cutting board, cut up turkey in bite sized pieces. Add 3 chopped sticks of celery, 3 chopped hard boiled eggs, 3 TBSP Helman's light mayo. Stir by hand. If it seems too dry add a little more mayo. Refrigerate before serving.
