Notes

I substituted just a little bit of mayo from my FILs original version with plain yogurt (I used dairy-free Kite Hill.) Some recipes use all Greek yogurt, but I find them way too tangy and not creamy enough. Subbing a little bit of plain yogurt adds the perfect tang meanwhile, saving calories without overpowering your turkey salad.
