Fruity-Nutty Wild Rice and Turkey Salad Recipe

Fruity-Nutty Wild Rice and Turkey Salad Recipe

  • 1¼ cups instant wild rice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 2¼ cups diced, cooked roast turkey
  • 2 navel oranges, peeled, halved horizontally, and separated into segments
  • 1 unpeeled Granny Smith apple, cored and diced
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup hazelnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2/3 cup orange juice
  1. Combine the rice, ¼ cups of water and the salt in a heavy 2-quart Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and reduce the heat so that the water simmers. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir well. Turn off the heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. While the rice is cooking, combine the turkey, oranges, apple, cranberries, and hazelnuts in a serving bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, blend the mayonnaise and orange juice.
  4. When the rice is done, drain off any unabsorbed liquid and toss it into the salad. Stir in the dressing and add salt to taste, if needed.
