this remains my go to recipe for chicken salad sandwich. (I don't think I've ever done turkey).  Absolutely fabulous every single time, even with light mayo.  definite five stars. And I've tried other recipes looking for changes, but always come back to this one.

So easy and it was delicious. Everyone in the family loved it. I used Greek yogurt for a little extra richness, and chopped everything but the turkey up fine in the food processor.

Loved it! Very easy to make, and allows for variations... enjoy! Here is my variation: 2 tablespoons sliced unsalted almonds vs cashews/ 3 tablespoons chopped dried mangos vs dried apricots/ No raisins/ 3 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt/ Baby spinach as desired vs lettuce/ pita vs pumpernickel
