If you have made or regularly make the 86eats vegan deli sliced turkey or Easy vegan chicken breast , then you have to try this easy vegan dill chicken salad with your next batch.

I call this vegan chicken salad even though you can also use the turkey breast. But that is because I actually use vegan chicken seasoning in the deli turkey, so I think the name is acceptable…and who makes turkey salad anyways. (and now I wait for all the comments of people who do in fact make turkey salad.)

A lot of people ask me if the turkey breast or chicken can be frozen because they can not eat the entire turkey breast or 8 pieces of chicken them selves in a reasonable amount of time …..and it in fact can be frozen! But, now if you don’t want to only eat turkey sandwiches, you can mince it up for some delicious vegan chicken salad and add it to salads, wraps, stuffed tomatoes, or on a cracker for a late night snack. More uses for that turkey breast may mean you don’t have to freeze it after all.

The vegan deli sliced turkey recipe and chicken are really easy and yield about a pound and a half or turkey or chicken breast. Both slices super thin making it perfect serving cold on a sandwich or even warmed with gravy and mashed potatoes.

So if you are feeling adventurous and want to make the most versatile and convincing turkey/chicken seitan breast, trust me when I say you will love these, and can use it so many ways. But, this easy vegan chicken salad is one of my personal favorite ways to use it!

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 batch Vegan Deli Sliced Turkey Breast , or 4 Easy Vegan Chicken Breast
1/3 to 1/2 cup vegan mayo
2 celery stalks, finely diced
1/4 cup white onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon greek seasoning, like Cavender’s brand
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon of chickenless seasoning, like Trader Joe’s brand
tablespoon of fresh dill, minced

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cut the deli turkey breast into 1 to 2 inch cubes. Pop them in the food processor and pulse until the deli meat is minced up. If you do not want to use a food processor, you can mince up the turkey breast using a very sharp knife.
Add the minced turkey breast and remaining ingredients into a medium sized bowl and mix. You can use more or less mayo and seasoning depending on taste. I like a lot of dill some tend to be heavy handed with it.
Serve on a sandwich, with crackers, or on a salad.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
