1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced apple
1 tablespoon pecans, roasted
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 quarts water, hot
225 grams kosher salt
225 grams dark brown sugar
1100 grams (about 2.5 pounds) ice
6 turkey legs
1 cup unsalted chicken stock

HARVEST SUPPER SALAD WITH SMOKED TURKEY AND APPLES



Harvest Supper Salad With Smoked Turkey and Apples image

From Cooks Illustrated: Main course salads make a simple, quick weeknight dinner. Typically, they involve little more effort than chopping a few ingredients and blending vinaigrette. We wanted to make a seasonal salad in which the sweet flavor of smoked turkey took center stage. Here's what we discovered: Test Kitchen Discoveries Have the deli counter cut the slices of turkey extra thick; cut the slices into thick strips to serve. Mix together tender green or red leaf lettuce with shredded red cabbage for flavor and textural contrast. Tart dried cherries or cranberries add sharpness to balance the sweet-tasting turkey and a chewy texture to contrast the tender greens, crisp apples, and crunchy nuts. Toast the almonds in a skillet over medium heat to intensify their flavor. NOTE: If you like, walnuts can be used in place of almonds in this main-course salad.
