Do you have a recipe for noodle salad that I can use turkey in?

I was thinking of noodles, turkey, mayo, bacon, and I dont know what else to put in it. Any suggestions?Do you have a recipe for noodle salad that I can use turkey in?
Unless I'm making something specific like a Greek salad or a caesar salad that uses specific ingredients, I never follow recipes for salads. To me salads are about what you have on hand, anything can be substituted. The key really is simplicity though, not overloading with a hundred different ingredients or your taste buds are overwhelmed. It's nice to have a variety of textures and shapes /sizes in a salad, not just to be pleasing to the eye, but for taste as well. Also some contrasting flavours like sweet peppers or tomatoes to contrast your vinaigrette or whatever type dressing you use. The options are endless what to use -balsamic, white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, make your own vinegar, lemon juice, etc etc.


With pasta salads, it's also nice to have some vegetable in there (for nutritional value of course as well as texture/colour variety), whether that's one of the many types of lettuces out there, or spinach or some other green, or cucumbers, carrots, cucumbers...well you get the idea


other rule is always taste as you go before you serve something!Do you have a recipe for noodle salad that I can use turkey in?
Dear Smelly--You'll need some seasonings or it may turn out bland---Clove garlic, chopped onions (green) celery, fried with the bacon---sliced Roma tomatoes, sliced olives (hard boiled eggs, slivered carrots, stoplight peppers, for more color) and a lettuce leaf bowl in which to serve -- Voila!! Enjoy!!
celery,green pepper tomato,radishes,onion,black olives and shredded cheese is what I use.
