How to Make Annie's Turkey Salad

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.
  2. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Immediately remove from heat.
  3. Cover and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes for perfect hard-boiled eggs.
  4. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cool, peel and finely chop the eggs.
  5. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cooked turkey, diced, 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles, 1/4 cup finely chopped celery (optional), 1/4 cup prepared sandwich or salad spread, and 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Gently mix until everything is well combined.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Add more mayonnaise if a creamier consistency is desired.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for best results!
  8. Serve on bread, crackers, lettuce cups, or enjoy it straight from the bowl!
