Gordon Ramsay Turkey Salad

Gordon Ramsay Turkey Salad
Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s approach to turkey salad focuses on freshness and contrast. Instead of heavy mayonnaise-based dressings, the salad relies on olive oil, lemon, mustard, and herbs to lift the turkey. Crisp vegetables add crunch, while careful seasoning brings everything into balance. The result is a salad that feels modern, light, and full of character.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or thinly sliced

  • 1 small red onion, very finely sliced

  • 1 celery stalk, thinly sliced

  • ½ cucumber, sliced into half-moons

  • A handful of mixed salad leaves (arugula, spinach, or romaine)

  • 1 tablespoon capers (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the turkey – Shred or slice the cooked turkey into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.

  • Add the vegetables – Mix in red onion, celery, cucumber, and capers for crunch and sharpness.

  • Make the dressing – In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  • Combine gently – Pour the dressing over the turkey mixture and toss lightly so everything is evenly coated.

  • Finish with herbs – Add fresh parsley or chives and give one final gentle toss.
