Cook’s Notes: You can substitute chicken breast for turkey. The salad is best if made with fresh organic or natural roasted turkey or chicken breast that has been minimally processed. The amount of salt needed for the salad depends on the type of meat you use, fresh roasted turkey breast vs. processed turkey breast to which salt and other preservatives have been added. The salt in the mayo and honey roasted almonds should add sufficient sodium to salad made with processed turkey or chicken breast meat.
