Tips
- Use leftover roasted turkey for maximum flavor depth and to reduce cooking time
- Choose crisp, firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best texture and tartness
- Toast the walnuts briefly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor
- For extra crunch, consider adding a tablespoon of finely diced red onion
- If you prefer a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for half the mayonnaise
- Ensure lettuce leaves are very dry to prevent soggy wraps
- Make the salad mixture ahead of time and refrigerate for flavors to meld
- For a low-carb option, serve the salad in lettuce cups instead of rolling
